West Parry Sound Health Centre coping with sky high electricity bills
TORONTO, ON: Documents obtained by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) reveal that the electricity bills for the West Parry Sound Health Centre have faced a steep increase over the last six years.
The documents show bills that are increasing, growing from $854,420 in 2012 to $1,222,244 in 2017, an increase of 43 per cent.
"How is the West Parry Sound Health Centre expected to manage their budget when electricity bills have rising dramatically every year, even as their consumption is falling?" asked CTF Ontario Director, Christine Van Geyn. "The more the hospital has to spend keeping their lights on, the fewer resources they have for patients."
