Okanagan Film Commission Welcoming Victoria's Move to Increase Tax Credits

The Okanagan Film Commission is welcoming the province's plans to increase tax credits for the TV production sector.

Although legislation hasn't passed yet, Vice-Chair Gerri Logan says the move to increase tax credits from 25 to 33 percent will open doors and lead to a steady increase for 2010.

Logan says it has been a challenge dealing with competition from Ontario and other parts of the world.

She says the local industry is worth millions and millions of dollars.
