Help us help YOU.

Dear Operators, 
 
Yesterday, NOTO was notified that the Ministry of Northern Development, Mines, Natural Resources and Forestry has made the decision to not waive the Crown Land Resource Fees for 2022.

NOTO is standing strong and is urging the Government to reconsider their decision. We are preparing our request for reconsideration now and need your help.

We would like LUP holders and bear management area holders to share with us the impact of having to pay these 2022 fees for their business. Will this be challenging for you and why?

We are also interested in learning more about your ability to qualify and/or obtain support through the Provincial programs targeted at tourism businesses.

Please help us by taking a couple of minutes to answer this brief survey. This will go a long way in helping us make the case for reconsideration.

Note, we will NOT be sharing any individual information with anyone outside the NOTO Office, NOTO will only use the aggregate data to support our advocacy efforts.

Thank you for your time and feedback.
