Councillor’s corner - June 2026

Dear Resident,

Large property tax increases make life harder for everyone. That’s why I vote against them.

At the City we started a program to help seniors and people with disabilities have these increases returned to them. For years I have hosted clinics to help those eligible gather the required documents and submit their application.

You are eligible for a rebate on this year’s property tax increase if you are:

Over 65 OR

Living with a disability

AND

Your total household income is below $62,000

If you are eligible, please bring the following documents along with you to the clinic and my staff and I will assist you with an application:

-Document Checklist

-Notice of Assessment from Canada Revenue Services

-Proof of age (via Government-issued ID, if applying for the first time)

-Property Tax Bill

-Utility (Water) Bill

-Statement of Old Age Security (T4A, Old Age Supplement)

-Statement of Canada Pension Plan Benefits (T4A(P))
