As part of St. Columban School's efforts to promote healthy and green lifestyles among students and staff, the school's Parents Council recently installed a new water bottle refill station next
to the main office to try and get people to drink more water and re -use their water bottles instead of drinking pre -bottled water. Pictured from left, St. Columban students Drew Scherbarth,

P Ben Lobb calls on
Liberal government
OTTAWA, ON - Today, MP
Ben Lobb called upon the Lib-
eral Government to leave the
Tax Free Savings Account
(TFSA) limit at $10,000 annually
to ensure fairness for seniors
and working Canadians.
"In 2009, our Conservative
Government introduced the
TFSA as an effective way to save
money - tax free," said Lobb.
"Research shows that almost
half of TFSA maximizers are
seniors, so why is the Liberal
Government so eager to
decrease the contribution
limit?"
On Monday, Federal Finance
Minister Bill Morneau con-
firmed that the contribution
limit on the TFSA will drop
back to $5,500 from $10,000
effective January 1, 2016. MP
Ben Lobb is sponsoring a peti-
tion both online and in his con-
stituency offices in an effort to
stop the change in contribution
limit.
The Department of Finance's
research shows that people of all
ages and income levels max out
their TFSA contribution limits -
in fact the vast majority are low
to middle income earners, with
a large proportion being seniors.
Currently, 71 per cent of TFSA
maximizers are over the age of
55 and 59.4 per cent of max con-
tributors make less than
$60,000. Support for the TFSA is
consistent across age groups,
income levels and regions of
Canada.
The TFSA program
.ea ort uronex.ositor.co
was introduced in 2009 by the
Conservative Government. It is
a way for individuals who are 18
and older with a valid social
insurance number to set money
aside tax-free throughout their
lifetime. TFSAs are an excellent
retirement savings tool for sen-
iors who can no longer take
advantage of Registered Retire-
ment Savings Plans (RRSPs),
and also for young Canadians
who need a tax -effective means
of saving for their future.
