Local business owners and taxpayers are invited to a 鈥楾axation Town Hall鈥� on Tuesday Oct. 17 from 4 to 5 p.m. at Trinity Western University鈥檚 Northwest Auditorium.
The event will provide an opportunity to discuss Canada鈥檚 proposed tax changes with Canadian tax expert, Tim Cestnick, the founder and CEO of WaterStreet Family Offices.
鈥淚t鈥檚 important for Canadians to understand what our government is proposing. The last time Canada had major tax reform, it was a thoughtful 10 year process,鈥� Cestnick said. 鈥淎ll Canadians will suffer if something so important like the proposed changes are rushed into law as quickly as the government would like.鈥�
Michael Loughrin, president and founder of the TWU 91原创 chapter of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation鈥檚 GS Club on campus, noted, 鈥淲e are grateful to have someone with Tim Cestnick鈥檚 expertise come help us better understand the national conversation and debate.鈥�
鈥淧ainting hard working farmers, doctors, and small business owners as 鈥榯ax cheats鈥� has done immense harm,鈥� said business owner Tamara Jansen of Darvonda Nurseries. 鈥淭his anti-business Liberal government forces young entrepreneurs to rethink their willingness to take risks. We鈥檒l never know how many jobs have been lost.鈥�
Business and Political Science Major Sam Vankevich, who started his own business, Stressful Jobs, when he was in Grade 8, added, 鈥淭his is a great opportunity for us as students and future business owners to be a part of this national debate. Policies matter.鈥�
Light Refreshments will be served.
