HST is no friend of service clubs

Editor: Many readers will have noticed the donation boxes for Lion Mints at various locations around town.

Editor: Many readers will have noticed the donation boxes for Lion Mints at various locations around town. The Kaien Island Lions Club puts money from these donations towards many local projects. Sadly, the  HST has  caused an increase in the cost of providing the mints, which are made by Life Savers. A case of mints with GST = $7.61 The same case with HST = $19.91,  an increase of $12.30 on the cost of a case.I thank all who donate to this worthwhile project and all those establishments who allow us to use their premises.Archie Mac LainePresident, Kaien Island Lions
