Pending Canada Post strike
Go Paperless – Stay Connected – Never Miss a Payment
With the pending Canada Post strike, residents are reminded that failure to receive a tax or utility bill, or mailing a payment during the strike, does not relieve you from payment nor liability of penalty/interest of a late payment.
To avoid any missed bills or late payments, we encourage you to sign up for Paperless Billing & also enroll in Pre-Authorized Payments by visiting our Tax & Utility Bills page on our website. You can also find other methods of payment on our Bills & Payments page as well.

At the June 20, 2024 Regular Meeting of Council, a presentation was received from Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. on the 2024 Water/Wastewater Rate Study. Council debated the two scenarios presented and resolved for staff to report back with further options for consideration. It was noted that these further options would need to come to a Special Meeting prior to July 12, 2024 to meet reporting deadlines through the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP), but we have since received an extension on the financial component of the renewal application. Therefore, the further discussion on the Water/Wastewater Rate Study is expected to be on the September 5, 2024 Regular Meeting of Council.
