oxide exposure. Carbon monoxide is a toxic, odourless gas that is a by-product of incomplete combustion of many types of common fuels.

WNF Emergency Services received 246 combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarms through Safe Community Project Zero - a public education campaign with the Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council (FMPFSC) that will provide more than 8,000 alarms to residents in 50 municipalities across Ontario. When properly installed and maintained, combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarms help provide the early warning to safely escape from a house fire or carbon mon-

“Carbon monoxide is known as the ‘silent killer’ for a reason, and evidence shows that prevention saves lives,” said Nick Klip, Enbridge manager operations.

“Niagara West Fire and Emergency Services is thrilled to be the recipient of the Project Zero combination alarms from Enbridge Gas. This is an incredible opportunity to get more alarms into the homes of all Lincoln residents,” said Fire Chief Greg Hudson.

To open a FHSA, you must be a Canadian resident, 18 years or older, and considered a first-time homebuyer. For this program, a first-time homebuyer is someone who has not owned a home in the current year or in the previous 4 years.

You can contribute up to $8,000 annually to your FHSA, up to a lifetime maximum of $40,000, or $80,000 per couple. The maximum period that your FHSA can be kept open is 15 years.

Why is timing the opening of your FHSA so important?

Any contributions you make to your FHSA are tax-deductible. The value of that tax-deduction depends on your marginal tax rate; The higher your income, the greater the tax-savings. If you are in the early stages of your career, and you do not plan to buy a home immediately, then you may want to hold off on opening a FHSA until your career takes off, and you are earning more.

Another reason for delaying the opening of your FHSA is the 15-year timeline to action.If you start a FHSA at age 19, your deadline to purchase a home is age 34, which may not be a realistic timeline, given current home prices and larger downpayment requirements. If you delay opening a FHSA until you are more established in your career, say at age 30, then you have until age 45 to use this account for the purchase of your first home.

Politicians bring Lincoln Chamber up to speed

Updates from multiple levels were provided on matters affecting Niagara West at Lincoln Chamber of Commerce’s annual politician’s breakfast last Friday, Feb. 10.

Speakers at the eventhosted at Inn on The Twenty in Jordan - included MP Dean Allison, MPP Sam Oosterhoff, Lincoln Mayor

Sandra Easton and Lincoln Reg. Coun. Rob Foster.

For Allison, the economy and inflation are two major fires which continue to burn.

“People are struggling. Over 1.5 million Canadians have visited a food bank in recent months,” said Allison.

“We are seeing some of the highest prices in 40 years. Inflation is at a 40 year high.”

Part of his concern there is Canada’s dependence on foreign countries for energy and food.

“We need to be energy independent and food secure,” said Allison.
