Opportunity Bonds

The Province has extended the deadline to purchase opportunity bonds, however one Dryden official believes the Tory’s are not doing enough.
The bonds allow communities to borrow money to help pay for water and sewer systems, roads, bridges and public transit.
However, Director of Corporate Services Paul Heayn doesn’t think the bonds go far enough.
Heayn says treasurer’s had asked that the bonds cover fire trucks, arena’s and other area’s.
However, the government changed nothing.
They claim they have sold more than $100 million worth of bonds.
