Tamok dies while in prison Inmate killed man in 2011 Penticton car crash

Sadie Hockey takes her turn at the receiving line after accepting her diploma for completing this year’s DARE program at Similkameen Elementary Secondary School. Local dignitaries were on hand to witness the students’ graduation ceremonies at the school’s elementary gym.
Black Press An inmate from Pacific Institution in Abbotsford has died of natural causes following a lengthy illness in the prison hospital, according to Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) Frank Tamok, 73, of Olalla was serving a six-year 11-month sentence for causing death by criminal negligence, causing bodily harm by criminal negligence, and failing to stop at a motor vehicle accident. He was involved in a crash in Penticton that killed Bradley Lentz on the Canada Day long weekend in 2011. During Tamok’s four-day trial last
year, the court heard that Tamok’s blood alcohol level was more than double the limit when he crashed into eight vehicles. Lentz was a passenger in a GMC Jimmy that Tamok rear-ended at high speed. The force of the crash launched the Jimmy into the air, sending it crashing down on the front end of a truck before it came to rest upside down on the shoulder of the road. Tomak’s sentence had begun on July 19, 2012. As in all cases where an individual dies while in custody, the police and coroner have been notified. In addition, CSC will review the circumstances surrounding the incident.

Protocol agreement moving forward RDOS press release The Regional District of OkanaganSimilkameen has committed to discuss the resolution of an outstanding agreement with its First Nations neighbours within 60 days. Dan Ashton, Chair of the regional bistrict board, made the commitment during a Community to Community forum Thursday that involved the regional district, its municipal partners, three of the First Nations — the Penticton, Osoyoos and Lower Similkameen Indian Bands and Grand Chief Stewart Phillip of the Okanagan Nation Alliance. “We set that timeline purposefully so that we can get back either through
a working group or directly to establish a protocol agreement with the original signatories,” Ashton said following the full-day session at the Spirit Ridge Vineyard Resort and Spa in Osoyoos. The regional district negotiated the agreement with its First Nations neighbours in 2006; however, it was never ratified. “ I wa s o n t h e board of the regional district when the Protocol Agreement was initially developed,” Ashton said at a press conference, with Penticton Indian Band Chief Jonathan Kruger and Osoyoos Indian Band Chief Clarence Louie at his side. “The intention of all parties was honourable, but we still have some issues to
resolve. It hasn’t stopped us from working together over that period, but the Protocol will take us to the next level.” Reigniting discussion about the protocol agreement was the focus during a good portion of the forum, which was set up by the regional district to renew dialogue between various levels of government and First Nations in the South OkanaganSimilkameen region. Senior political leaders from the regional district, City of Penticton, the towns of Osoyoos, Oliver, Summerland and Princeton and the Village of Keremeos participated in Thursday’s forum. The protocol agreement commits the parties to, among

Spring brings need for “bear awareness” With the coming of spring, residents are reminded that with bears coming out of hibernation extra attention needs to be paid to garbage placement By Zoe Kirk RDOS Bear Aware Wildsafe BC Coordinator This year’s lengthy winter season has meant a good long sleep for local bears. However, if the current good weather continues, from mid to late March, they will soon awaken, and hunger will lure them out of their dens. Cubs will have been born in the warmth of the den, sometime from mid - January to early February. Due to the pressures of nursing cubs and lack of food, sows can lose up to 35 per cent of their body weight. So, when they emerge in the spring, they are thirsty and hungry; add maternal protection and it’s easy to understand why we need to be extra cautious about managing our attractants reducing the chances of luring them into our yards, and neighbourhoods. Bears will use traditional travel routes, up and down gulleys, creek beds and pathways between available water, food sources and their dens. Sows will often use backyards (where perhaps they have enjoyed a meal) as temporary shelter, especially if they fear a big

male bear may be in the area. Boars are known to attack young cubs, so for the first few months sows are extra protective and can be a bit more defensive if they feel provoked. Over the winter, we can get a bit lackadaisical about our garbage and refuse habits. Year round best practice around the home is to keep garbage locked up and secure until the morning of pick up. This includes recycling. Recycling bags containing unwashed items can contain plastic food containers that continue to harbour the scents of foods packaged inside. The scent can be really attractive to bears. With a nose that is five times better than the best tracking dogs, they can smell a potential meal a long way off. Birdfeeders should be taken down by Easter, and stored till next Christmas season. Bee hives should be secured by perimeter fencing, and any pet or livestock feed should be well secured in a barn, shed or garage. Electoral Areas “D”, “E” and “F” in the regional district have curbside garbage bylaws in place, restricting residents to placing garbage at the curb after 5:30 a.m. on morning of pick-up. Everyone is safer for it. Even if your area does not fall under a curbside garbage bylaw, it is sensible to implement the same protocols around garbage and recycling. Not only are the largest predators thwarted by such actions, but rats, racoons, dogs, and coyotes are also curtailed from spreading garbage. This is a safer, cleaner and definitely more neigh-

Editorial Communication breakdown Hedley residents were left feeling a little helpless last week after Telus’ announcement that they were withdrawing their Hedley cellular tower application. The move came suddenly, following a regional district board meeting in which a request was made to postpone approval of the application in order to give Hedley residents more of an opportunity for input on the issue. Telus’ reason for withdrawing the application stemmed from the opposition encountered by Hedley residents and board members over their choice of site for the 20 metre tower, even after following the consultation proccess. It’s unfortunate that Telus didn’t wait until after Hedley residents had an opportunity to discuss the issue one more time. It makes Telus’ decision look heavy handed, and appears to be sending a strong message to other municipalities and politicians who would dare oppose the company’s direction. Prior to the decision to withdraw the application, there did not appear to be a solid understanding in Hedley of the reasons why Telus was opposed to considering relocation. Had all the residents been made aware of the company’s issues, there may have been a broader acceptance of the location, or at least, resignation that it was the best that the company could do. It’s also not unreasonable to say that this RDOS board has an aversion to the dictates of utility companies when it comes to the location of such infrastructure as cell and hydro towers, based on the board’s recent experience with Fortis’ power line along the east side of Skaha Lake. A more conciliatory approach might have resulted in a decision which was more acceptable to all involved. In the end, it’s an ironic outcome for a communications company.

Oral hearings set to begin on wireless smart meters By Alex Atamanenko MP, BC Southern Interior When it comes to measuring our electricity use for the purposes of billing, is it healthier, more secure, safer and more cost effective to opt for wired smart meters or for the wireless ones? That is the question Fortis BC would prefer you wouldn’t spend much time thinking about, as it is not a choice the company is prepared to give you anyway. The BC Utilities Commission (BCUC) is currently considering a Fortis application to install the wireless version of the technology on every home in its service area. As has already happened with BC Hydro’s roll-out of wireless smart meters, many people are strongly opposed and are organizing to try and stop them. To get a little background on what all the fuss is about, an interesting documentary to view is Resonance: Beings of Frequency, which is freely available on the Internet. The film lays out
in an easily digestible format the scientific and other compelling reasons we should better protect ourselves from the growing amount of radiation being emitted through our increased use of modern electrical and wireless technologies. What is made clear in the film is that we are now immersed in an ocean of radiation that is many millions of times higher than what life on earth evolved with. As yet the long-term impact and potential for harm is far from understood. Industry standards are based only on the thermal effects (i.e., if it heats tissue, as in a microwave oven) and do not consider the long-term nonthermal effects, which are more difficult to establish. Although this is not an exhaustive list, radiation emitting equipment can include: radar (military, marine, aviation and weather), cellphone towers, radio and TV broadcast antennas, WiFi hotspots, and citywide WiFi and Wi-Max antennas. Inside buildings and homes we might have cellphones, cordless phones,
wireless alarm systems, wireless baby monitors, wireless video games, wireless computers, iPads and now Smart Phones that can connect to wireless internet or WiFi. Ultimately, the plan is for wireless smart meters to monitor the use of electricity, gas and water. As part of this system, smart appliances like fridges, stoves, washers, dryers and toasters are now being designed to communicate wirelessly with smart meters. It doesn’t take a lot of imagination to realize how much more radiation we will be adding to our living environment once all this technology is rolled out. Easier to imagine, perhaps, is the amount of money that stands to be made and the business interests involved. There is plenty of fodder to fuel the many allegations of conflict of interest by industry and regulating bodies over the last 60 years, not least of which by the B.C. government, but that is perhaps the subject for a future column. Two weeks, beginning
on March 04, have been set aside by the BCUC for the oral hearing part of the process that will allow both sides in the controversial debate to cross examine each other. These hearings will take place in Kelowna and are open to the public. Fortis has invited experts from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the International Commission on Non-ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) as well as the Committee on Man and Radiation (COMAR) to represent their arguments on privacy and health issues. Interveners have put forward several independent scientists who will challenge those arguments. Considering that BC Hydro was exempted by the B.C. government from having to apply to the BC Utilities Commission for permission to install wireless meters in its service area, it will be very interesting to see whether the Commission gives Fortis the go ahead with its application, especially in the face of so much controversy.

Exhorbitant tax increase done for wrong reasons
To the Editor: An increase in tax requisition by KalRec from $58,000 in 2012 to $128,000 for 2013 is a classic example of an organization ignoring the current economic times and using the easy solution of just asking for more tax dollars. The increase is requested in part to fund renovations to the kitchen area in the Kaleden Community Hall. I am all for maintaining and improving your capital assets but this should be done in a manner where you slowly build up your capital reserve fund to be able to afford the project. The kitchen renovation is not like the situation in Okanagan Falls where an opportunity suddenly came up to acquire some park land and a large tax increase was necessary. In the KalRec case the defense given for the increase was the need to match a potential federal grant for the project. This should never be the driver to proceed on a project unless you already have your own portion of the funding in the bank. Community grants will always be available as long as politicians look to get re-elected. The entire kitchen renovation project can be questioned, since based on hall rental projections where the enhanced kitchen is a factor cost recovery will likely never occur.
The budgeting of $5,000 for the maintenance of three road ends along the Kaleden lakeshore should also be questioned since this is not at all part of KalRec’s mandate, is not land owned by KalRec or the RDOS, is not wanted by the local Alder Street residents, and is clearly the responsibility of the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. The $16,000 increase in park maintenance for increased caretaker hours is an expensive solution to just better utilizing the hours currently allocated which were more than adequate for a single caretaker four years ago when the park was kept in pristine condition. Am I also the only person to question the non-budgeted acquisition of a $7,000 audiovisual system for the hall when you do not have the money for the “necessary” kitchen renovations? It may be nice to have but only when you can afford it! KalRec should be looking to hold the line on spending on projects or improvements which may not be totally necessary. Residents who volunteer for these community organizations should be commended for their commitment to the community. However, with that appointment there is also the fiscal responsibility to the taxpayer. Len Bzdel, Kaleden

Did you know that
family law in BC has changed
Communication the key to moving ahead To The Editor, The recent initiative by Lower Similkameen Indian Band chief and council who put forth a request to the membership asking approval of a loan for a new office building got turned down, stopping the effort for now. Many of the members like myself were surprised that the issue was even on the table and being pushed forward when we knew little to nothing about it. Rumor has it that band council is justifying their efforts by using something that had been in the works back in 1990s and died at the time for whatever reason. Many of us wonder how it could be conceived the same out come would be inevitable, band members who were only babies in 1990s are all now eligible to vote, and many who voted back then have passed on? The problem most members see, especially the elders is that our council has given themselves permission to operate outside the scrutiny of the membership and actually believe that this is okay. Department heads have also taken the liberty of operating individually and the amount of overlap and double staffing has gone unnoticed, contributing to the problem.
This does not mean we have bad people at the controls, it is that those attempting to do the work are not properly informed. Most do not have required skills, and few if any have ever worked outside First Nations, so they do the best that they can. The time may be now for the membership to help by showing our unity and identifying a sequence of order that must be followed prior to major initiatives or expenditures. Once a pecking order has been established and good support is available for the workers, our office and administration will be able to produce more with less to become a efficient and a pleasant place of employment. Our people are capable, what they need is guidance, training, and support to better understand the work they are being asked to do. Leadership must always be visible and present to maintain a well organized work environment. It is easy to criticize but extremely important for our people to understand that we must stay positive and offer only advice and support at times of debate. Thank you, Darryl R. Brewer LSIB Band member

Cawston Players prepare their spring production at Cawston Hall The Cawston Players will present Barely Heirs by David Lassig on Friday, Saturday and Sunday afternoon April 12, 13 and 14 at The Cawston Community Hall stage Contributed by Dave Cursons Directed by Bob McAtamney, this outrageous adult comedy brings the audience a fun filled session of laughs, frantics, chaos, and confusion. The main character, Jane, played by Amanda Elyzen, is a career minded woman who tries desperately to find a way to get her inheritance despite the many unexpected obstacles being thrown at her at the worst possible time, payday. Jane’s uncle passed away nine months ago and now it’s time for her inheritance check to be delivered by the attorney since she met the one requirement of being married for six months. However, Jane is “not really technically married, just kinda, sorta married” to her best friend’s husband, Tom, played by Corentin Caro-Chambard .

The plotting duo has devised the perfect plan to get the inheritance check; the only problem is that nothing is going according to the master plan. Jane’s uncle’s attorney, William, played by Eban McKiblin calls and is on his way, but Tom is nowhere to be found. So Jane convinces her best friend and Tom’s real wife, Claire, played by Jenna Sipponen, to dress up like a man and “start acting like her husband” in order to convince William that they are married and thus give over that inheritance check. To complicate matters even worse, Jane’s ex-boyfriend, Paul, played by Guy Sasseville comes over to make a surprise announcement that he wants to rekindle his relationship with Jane and is moving back in today. But that’s not the only surprise visitor. Jane’s mother, Betty, played by Gabriele Villecourt, arrives and wants to spend time with the newlyweds. Then, to make matters even worse, Officer Hanes, played by Taina Sipponen, gets a call of some suspicious activity in the neighborhood and comes to investigate. Tickets are $12 and are available starting March 21 at Similkameen Agencies in Keremeos or The Cawston Marketplace.

Public awareness campaign launched as April 1 sales tax changeover looms Contributed With only two weeks left until British Columbia transitions back to the Provincial Sales Tax (PST), several groups representing B.C.’s small business community are raising public awareness about the change through media and social media networks. The Canadian Federation
of Business (CFIB) – backed by the BC Chamber of Commerce and Vancouver Board of Trade – is coordinating “PST Tuesday” for March 19 in an effort to remind business owners not to leave PST registration until the last minute. “We have recently contacted many of our members, and
the good news is the vast majority of them have already registered for the new PST tax,” says CFIB BC Director of Provincial Affairs Mike Klassen. “The fact that every business has not registered for the PST tax yet is concerning, however. PST Tuesday is our way to help everyone get to finish line be-
fore April 1.” During PST Tuesday CFIB is inviting Twitter users onboard by “hashtagging” tweets with #PST and #smallbiz. “Many business owners are on social media – as are their customers,” says Klassen. “Talking up PST today can prevent stress down the road for small business operators.”

Fraser Institute report: Government employees earn 14 per cent more than private sector workers The Fraser Institute Public-sector workers (federal, provincial, and local) in British Columbia earned wages 13.6 per cent higher, on average, than their private-sector counterparts in 2011, finds a new report from the Fraser Institute, an independent, non-partisan Canadian think-tank. “As the B.C. government struggles with deficits and finding ways to constrain spending, public-sector compensation is one area that should be closely scrutinized,” said Jason Clemens, Fraser Institute executive vice-president and co-author of Comparing Public and Private Sector Compensation in British Columbia. “The fact is government workers in B.C. enjoy a wage premium over their privatesector counterparts.” Comparing Public and Private Sector Compensation in British Columbia examines wage and non-wage benefits for government employees (federal, provincial, and local) and private-sector workers in B.C. It calculated the wage premium for public-sector workers using Statistics Canada’s Labour Force Survey from April 2011, after adjusting for personal characteristics such as gender, age, marital status, education, tenure, size of establishment, type of job, and industry. When unionization is included in the analysis, the public-sector “wage premium” (i.e., the degree to which public-sector wages exceed private-sector wages) declines to 11.2 per cent from 13.6 per cent. Aside from higher wages, the study also

found strong indications that public-sector workers enjoy more generous non-wage benefits than the private sector, including: - Pensions: 89.8 per cent of B.C.’s publicsector workers were covered by a registered pension plan in 2011 compared to 19.4 per cent of private- sector workers. Of those covered by a registered pension plan, 95.6 per cent in the public sector enjoyed definedbenefit pensions (i.e., guaranteeing a certain level of benefits in retirement) compared to 49.3 per cent of private-sector workers. - Early retirement: B.C. government employees retired 2.8 years earlier, on average, than private-sector workers between 2007 and 2011. - Job security: In 2011, 0.6 per cent of public-sector workers lost their jobs-less than one seventh the job-loss rate in the private sector (4.3 per cent). “Public-sector wages and benefits are largely driven by political factors and the monopolistic nature of government, while in the private sector they are guided by market forces, competition, and profit constraints,” said Amela Karabegovic, Fraser Institute senior economist and study co-author. “Overall, the public-sector workers in British Columbia enjoy higher wages - and likely higher non - wage benefits - than comparable workers in the private sector.”

Looking for the elusive “Goldilocks Zone”
Goldilocks was a rat h e r b a d ly brought up little girl who walked into the home of the three bears while they were out, and tried out their beds and their breakfast porridge to find out which of the mother, father and baby bears’ stuff most suited her. This unwanted visitation was not appreciated by the bears when they came home. This picky little girl, for whom everything had to be just right, now has her name applied to the “habitable zone” for planets. The “Goldi-
locks Zone” is the range of distances a planet can be from its star to be in the right temperature for liquid water to be present on its surface, which is an essential condition for “life as we know it”. At sea level on Earth this corresponds to a temperature range of 0 to 100 degrees Celsius, respectively the freezing and boiling points of water. However it looks as though our definition of the Goldilocks Zone is a bit too narrow to be really useful. Over recent years we have been finding creatures on our world living happily under conditions that would kill us very quickly. We now call them extremophiles. We find living things in the near-boiling water in hot springs and communities of animals around hydrothermal vents
(black smokers) on the sea floor, where jets of mineral-laden water emerge from the sea floor with temperatures of hundreds of degrees. This superheated water is forced to remain liquid by the high pressure imposed by kilometres of overlying water. Now we know of life forms living kilometres underground, in hot rock, under extremely high pressures. It seems that if the pressure is high enough to keep water in a liquid form, there is likely to be something swimming around in it, even at temperatures of hundreds of degrees. Even on hostile-seeming worlds, there could be conditions somewhere on it where water might be present as a liquid. This means we cannot define a Goldilocks Zone without taking into account other things. For example, if Mars were

bigger, it might not have become the almost airless, frigid desert it is today. A more massive world would have stronger gravity, which would have been able to better prevent its atmosphere drifting off into space. If it had a strong enough magnetic field it could have deflected the solar wind, stopping it from scouring its upper atmosphere away. Today, with a denser atmosphere, with the greenhouse effect warming the planet, Mars could have oceans of liquid water, with living creatures swimming in it. In principle a dense, high-pressure atmosphere can keep water liquid at high temperatures. However, if that atmosphere is too rich in greenhouse gases, the temperature of that planet can run away until the world is too hot for any con-
ceivable form of life. That’s what seems to have happened to Venus. This all suggests that simply calculating a habitable zone for planets based upon distance from a star is too pessimistic, and the quest for life “out there” will be more fascinating than we might have thought. The Sun crosses the celestial equator on the 20th, heading north. This event, known as the vernal equinox, marks the official start of spring. Jupiter dominates the southwestern sky during the night. Saturn rises around 11 p.m. The Moon will reach first quarter on the 19th and be full on the 27th.

a number of activities such as hosting or participating in forums, workshops, dialogues and other learning events. These grants also will support building local leadership and partnerships between sectors to assist with
local planning, policies and action to create healthier communities. Creating healthier communities is a key component of the Healthy Families BC strategy that was launched in May 2011. As part of the
strategy, provincial health authorities work with interested communities to develop plans to make their city or town healthier. Planning can take place in such areas as physical activity, healthy eating,
tobacco reduction, healthy-built environments and local priority populations. Communities that support healthy living make it easier for all residents, regardless of age or ability, to make healthy choices every day.

School district 53 board report
The Review, Thursday, March 21, 2013 — Page 17
news
A brief summary of items discussed at trustees’ regular meetings Contributed byMarieze Tarr, Chairperson, School District No.53 On March 13 at 6:30 p.m. the Board of Education held a discussion forum for parents and staff on a proposed Team Inquiry Model for next year. The meeting was attended by a number of administrators, teachers and parents. The purpose of the meeting was to provide information about the purpose of inquiry time and to gather input on how the early dismissal of students on one day a month would impact parents. We received valuable input from parents with regard to their feelings around inquiry time and releasing students. The board is still gathering input from parents and staff on this topic and if you have a ny q u e s t i o n s a s to the purpose, or if you need more information, please contact your local school administrator, trustee, or one of our senior staff members. We will be debating the topic at our regular board meeting on April 17, so b e s u r e t o m a ke your voice heard b e fo re t h i s d at e. All of our contact information is on the school district website. We a r e v e r y proud of our students who received medals at the Skills Canada Regional Competition held in Kelowna on March 8. Trent Philipps won gold in Mechanical Drafting and will be moving onto Provincials. Dustin Lesmeister won silver in Cabinetry and Nick Hoy won silver in the welding competition. Chance Wabnegger placed second in Carpentry –
he was the youngest competitor (grade 10) and he is planning to win next year! Four of our SOSS grade eight students will be representing us at the Gravity Car Competition Provincials in Vancouver. Thank you to Travis Hoffman fo r t a k i n g To ny Abellan, Anthony Campen, Dilman Sidhu and Will Kane to the competition in Kelowna and good luck with your gravity cars in the Provincials in Vancouver! Our Aboriginal E d u c at i o n A dv i sory Council met on Tuesday, February 19 in Hedley at the Upper Similkameen Indian Band office. The meeting was attended by 24 people representing parents, students, band representatives and school district personnel. The main focus of the meeting was to review progress with the enhancement agreement goals and to provide input into the annual report. The annual Aboriginal Report is available on our website. Our sixth annual district pow wow will be held on April 5 and 6 at the Similkameen Elementary Secondary School. The grand entry and traditional feast is at 6 p.m. on the Friday night. On Saturday the festivities start with breakfast at 9 a.m. Please contact the school for more information. The District/ Authority Award Scholarships regard graduating students fo r exc e l l e n c e i n their chosen nonacademic field(s). Students who demonstrate superior achievement in any of the areas of Fine Arts, Applied Skills, Physical Activity, Second Languages,
Community Service and Technical and Trades Training are eligible to apply for these scholarships. For 2012-2013, 23 scholarships were awarded to students from SD53. This is an increase of 10 scholarships from the previous year! Board approval was given to Mr. Dan Fuller who will be taking a group of 40 grades 10-12 students to Victoria on a field trip t o p a r t i c i p at e i n the Earthwalk and other environmental studies on April 18-21. This will be a wonderful opportunity for these students. The Ministry of E d u c at i o n a u d i t team is scheduled to visit our district again from April 15-19 to conduct an audit of the district’s Distributed Learning and Continuing Education programs. The purpose of the audit is to provide assurance to the Ministry of Education and the Board of Education that ministry directives and policies are being followed. The board also adopted Procedural Bylaw No. 21 at the regular board meeting held on March 13. The bylaw deals with the procedures regarding the conduct of meetings of the Board of Education as required by the School A c t . T h i s b y l aw was updated. The board approved the 2013/2014 school calendar that outlines the minutes in school and days in session as required by the ministry. The board also received the Aboriginal Education Annual Report 2011/2012. Superintendent Young also outlined the district visioning process that will

In April every school in the district will be participating in a visioning session for their school. We are hoping to involve parents, students

MANAGING Your Money
Where you choose to live in Canada can be cultural, social, employment-related or for a host of other individual and family reasons – but it’s usually not because of the provincial tax rate. Still, tax rules do vary from province to province and it’s good to know the differences, if only for your own personal knowledge and perhaps, to save you a few important dollars. Here are some interesting examples of Canada’s varied provincial tax landscape. Tax Comparison Four Provinces – 2013 Tax Rates Tax Credits Four Provinces – notable variations The federal government provides refundable and non-refundable tax credits that are the identical in every province. However, each province provides its own roster of tax credits that often mirror or extend those provided by the federal government – but also vary from province to province. Here are a few notable examples.
The amount of taxes you pay and the tax credits available to you are determined by the province you live in but, no matter where you live, the principles for reducing your tax bite as much as possible are the same: Take full advantage of all your tax deductions and credits, make maximum contributions to your investments held within an RRSP or TFSA, and use income-splitting and investment strategies that reduce taxes. One other tip: If you’re moving to a province with a lower tax rate, do it before December 31 and you’ll pay the lower rate for the full year. If you’re moving to a province with a higher tax rate, try to delay until the following year. And it always pays to talk to your professional advisor before you file your return.
