West Nipissing council plans to debate a request from the local hospital in the near future over a tax levy. The hospital wants council to apply a $6.50 per year on households in the municipality. The levy would last 15 years. The hospital wants to use the levy to buy a CT scanner. Meanwhile council has turned down a request from the Nipissing Serenity Hospice for $50,000. However council says it can help the group with fundraising activities.
