In January the cost of living in our city was heralded as in a period of deflation with prices dropping — but — that was short lived.
The latest numbers from Stats-Canada show the cost of living on the upswing last month.
Our local inflation rate is pegged at 0.4-percent — up from a minus 0.3-percent in January.
Prices are also up nationally with a spike in the cost of food especially fresh vegetables being blamed.
