The current LTC Fee Policy and Schedules were approved by the Board of Directors in November 2020. Due to COVID-19 considerations there were no increases in fees in 2021. The Fee Policy sets out a requirement for an annual review by staff to monitor effectiveness. Should changes be proposed, public consultation is required prior to approval of revisions by the Board of Directors. There are some fee changes being proposed for the upcoming year 2022 Fee Policy and Schedules.
