Green Valley Landscaping Inc. is located in Etobicoke and specializes in providing professional Toronto summer landscape maintenance services, landscape design & build, waterfalls & water features for luxury homes in Etobicoke and North York. Joe’s motto is, “NO LANDSCAPE JOB IS TOO SMALL FOR GREEN VALLEY LANDSCAPING INC.” Joe and Irene are looking forward to a banner landscape design year helping clients plan new outdoor projects and integrating natural waterfalls, outdoor lighting but early bookings are key to ensure that time will be available for this year’s projects.

They rent an economical Jiffy workplace office where their bookkeeper does their books and payroll. Jiffy Office Workspaces have heating/air conditioning and are hard wired for Internet. Having conveniences like this at Jiffy Storage Toronto allows them  more time to enjoy their home garden and greenhouse filled with annuals, perennial flora and tropical flowering trees. They have taken back their privacy and have more time to enjoy their Toronto garden and year round greenhouse since renting their small Jiffy office for their business.

Jiffy accepts deliveries for them that is much more than a convenience. It opens time for them to deal with more important business issues like prospecting for new commercial  customers in North York, Toronto and residential landscaping and snow removal clients in Toronto GTA. How many times did Irene used to sit around for an important delivery only to be told that it will be delivered tomorrow? She doesn’t sit any more. Not only do Joe and Irene have more time to better service their landscape and snow removal customers, they have more quality time to spend together now that their entire landscaping business operates efficiently from Jiffy Storage Toronto.

Large businesses are ready for HST but many small companies have no idea how HST will affect them. Most businesses do not understand that they will be able to apply the full HST input credit for various costs and services so that HST will flow through for the full 13% paid out vs the 5% GST that was the permitted input prior to the first of July. This will be a bonus and is supposed to help increase the bottom line of Ontario businesses and therefore increase opportunities for investment and new jobs for Ontario. At least, that is the message that Government is trying to send out, but businesses should not believe the political line that is being circulated.

The fact is that people willing to spend money will only find that at month’s end they will have less to spend and therefore will hold back on discretionary purchases and the government promoted windfall for Ontario businesses will result in another slow down or even recession for Ontarians.

As a Toronto self storage business, we do not support this government initiative and will continue to work for changes in government policy. In order to stimulate a poor economy, there has to be a reduction of taxes, not an increase during a most critical time for the Canadian economy.

When Jiffy Self Storage tenants in Toronto will come in to pay their rents on July 1, we will apologize for the increase due entirely to new taxes and refer them to a picture of our Premier Dalton McGuinty and ask that if they have a beef about increased storage rates, instead of taking out their frustrations on us, they should contact Dalton and let their voices be heard. Jiffy Self Storage and other Toronto storage facilities can only apologize in this instance but all of us cannot sit idle. We have to stand up to those renegades on Parliament Hill.
