TAX REQUISITION PROPOSAL FOR OPERATING FUNDS
The Health Centre opened in June 2016 after a tremendous outpouring of support from the Lasqueti Community in the form of labour, materials and money. Thanks to that effort we now have a permanent facility for weekly nursing services, quarterly doctor visits, telehealth consultations, a treatment room for other health professionals, meeting space for community organizations and support groups, storage space for the food bank, a respite suite and a place for First Responders to wait for the Coast Guard or Air Ambulance. Everyone who uses the health centre is supplied with heat, electricity and water.
Now that it’s been open for a while we have a clear understanding of what it takes to keep the Centre operating - $45,000 per year. The amount of money taken in for rentals does not come close to covering this amount. So far, we have paid for these costs through service grants, membership fees, modest usage fees and donations. Continuing along with an endless fundraising campaign while at the same time being uncertain about operations from year to year is not a sustainable model for the Health Centre.
You can help the Society lower its operating costs. Volunteers are needed to take on some of the tasks that are now done by the Administrator including: Volunteer coordinator; website upkeep; communications for isle 'n times; facebook and mail list notices; small job coordinator; minute taker; and maintain membership list.

Our Corporate Sponsors:
"Lasqueti Island typifies many of the small off the grid communities we work with around the world. People treasure their independence and learn to get things done on their own. When I learned that the Lasqueti Last Resort Society had already raised over 70% of their $750,000.00 budget on their island of 400 permanent residents, I was confident that they would finish the project and that our contribution would make a real difference." |
