The town of Jumbo, BC (POPULATION - 0) received a $260,000 provincial grant and $50,000 in federal gas tax money! Why would a “town” with no residents and no services require taxpayer dollars? Well, there are bridges to build and infrastructure to construct before real estate can be sold. Given the Jumbo Glacier Resort is a private development, you’d think the infrastructure would be fully funded by the developer – but not in the case of Jumbo. Jumbo Glacier Mountain Resort Municipality has asked for $200,000 a year from the province for the next five years. In its five-year financial plan, the municipality is predicting $0 in tax revenue, $0 in funding from the developer and 100 per cent of funding to come from government grants. desmog.ca/2014/11/13/jumbo-only-b-c-municipality-won-t-vote-saturday
