Last month, council voted to rescind a tax exemption for the Campbell River Art Gallery as well as the Vancouver Island Mental Health Society, deeming them 'nuisance neighbours.'

for the Campbell River Art Gallery as well as the Vancouver Island Mental Health Society, which operates an overdose prevention society, deeming both as “nuisance neighbours.” Both organizations are non-profits.CRAG executive director Sarah Lopez-Assu, said the gallery has recieved the exemption every year until now — and that the city’s move will put a $10,000 hole in its budget next year.It will certainly impact our operations. We’re not for profit; every nickel and dime is accounted for.

“We told them we are not allowing it, it simply happens after hours. We have complied with all their reasonable requests, which is to make sure we don’t implicitly give people permission with our language, but they seem to think we can do more about it.” “The removal of the PTE for the Campbell River Art Gallery was acknowledged and Council committed to working with the organization on a productive solution and path forward, which could see the 2024 property taxes funded through Council Contingency,” the city said.The Vancouver Island Mental Health Society said there had been no change in the city’s move to restore its exemption either.
