Bill Pr29 2006

An Act respecting Sheena's Place

Preamble

The board of directors of The Hospice for Eating Disorders of Toronto, a corporation known as and referred to in this Act as Sheena's Place, has applied for special legislation to exempt certain land from taxation for municipal and school

purposes, other than local improvement rates, beginning in 2006, while the land is used for a specified purpose and to cancel the taxes for municipal and school purposes, other than local improvement rates, that were payable from 1996 to 2005. The

applicant represents that Sheena's Place was incorporated under the Corporations Act by letters patent dated July 21, 1994 and that it is a registered charity within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada). The applicant also

represents that Sheena's Place has a freehold interest in the land and has operated a not-for-profit charitable centre for people affected by eating disorders on the land since May 1996.

It is appropriate to grant the application.
