In 2004, under Mayor Don Atchison and Councillors Gord Wyant and Bev Dubois, a special tax rate for private aircraft storage hangars was approved. The request had been brought forward by Carl Bunnin of the Canadian Owners and Pilot Association. In his presentation to the City, Mr Bunnin likened a hangar to a garage for aircraft.

The current tax rate for this special sub-class is the lowest of all the property tax rates.

Have you seen the latest privately-owned light aircraft hangars? Apparently, a car fits in nicely with the aircraft!
