Mat Dwyer, Red Bay Lodge
The official position of the owner and of Red Bay Lodge: we support a 4% Municipal Accommodation Tax (MAT) that is used to better the community we live in and to reduce the burden of tourism on South Bruce Peninsula taxpayers.
We own a commercial lodge, so we are not neutral, and we have said publicly that we are for the MAT. We also care that the tax is applied evenly to accommodators across the peninsula.
Stays at the lodge are subject to HST and the 4% MAT.
