Lake of Bays is inviting accommodation operators to join the Municipal Accommodation Tax (MAT) Task Force.
The tax has been adopted by municipalities throughout Ontario and Canada as a way to support and strengthen local tourism.
In Lake of Bays, this tax is a fee paid by visitors staying in short-term rentals.
Officials say the MAT task force will include representatives from the tourism industry, community members, accommodation operators (including short-term rental providers), staff, and members of Council.
“The group will provide strategic advice on spending priorities and tourism partnerships, helping Council make informed decisions,” say officials.
Applications are being accepted until April 25th. Appointments will be announced later this spring.
