“Very soon. We had that audit completed a week ago. So we have the 2022 and 2023 on that website. I just have to get the caucus to approve it and PR team will do the rest. I just looked at it last night. Clearly it shows you had your struggles in 2021, coming out of COVID and Lisa, but it showed pretty quickly by 2022 you had a net loss of five hundred sixty-five thousand. But in 2023 you had an operating surplus of one point six million. So clearly, we have turned that curve and I am anticipating that the 2024 figures will be even better. I see where our property taxes, trade license, liquor license and traffic fees all increased from 2022 to 2023. I am very hopeful that the trend continues.”
