Schedule B, or the Tourism Levy, might not see a second year.
 
The levy was developed in 2015 to help fund Travel Drumheller's marketing plan. The levy was originally mandatory, but was met with complaints from local hotel and campground owners.
 
There were some suggestions made as to how to change the funding, or to end the levy entirely.
 
"Next Monday we will be asking for a second and third reading to eliminate Schedule B," Drumheller's mayor Terry Yemen said.
 
Eliminating the levy was discussed at the Committee of the Whole meeting on January 18.
 
Yemen added there were some hotels who claimed they would support the levy whether it was mandatory or not.
 
"It will be very interesting to see," he said. "I guess it's time to see if they're going to put up."
 
The vote to dismiss the Tourism Levy will take place on Monday, January 25.
