加拿大祭祀基金会 (Matsuri Foundation of Canada) 对这座耗资 780 万美元的岛屿的财产税豁免上诉失败了。 The Matsuri Foundation of Canada has lost its appeal for a property-tax exemption on a $7.8 million island. 该宗教团体拥有斯沃茨湾附近的纳普岛，并寻求豁免作为“公共礼拜场所”。 The religious group, which owns the Knapp Island just off Swartz Bay, sought the exemption as a "place of public worship." 然而，财产评估委员会于 2023 年 3 月否认了这一豁免，称该基金会没有证明公众可以进入或使用该岛进行礼拜，使其主要用途为私人用途。 However, the Property Assessment Board denied the exemption in March 2023, stating that the foundation had not demonstrated public access or use of the island for worship, making its primary use private.
