This year's property tax payment is a tough one. Despite the modest property tax rate increase of 1.75% because of the assessed value still went up last year and other things getting more expensive (school tax, TransLink etc.) the total amount of property tax went up 30.2% compared to last year. For seniors and covid-19 impacted folks difficult to handle.

 We attended a public hearing tonight re rezoning. Firstly, I noticed there is a sign saying no food or beverages inside the hearing area then We actually binned our Starbucks green tea before getting in the hearing. Later, we realized that all the city councillors could bring their mugs to the meeting. ????. My goodness me. Wasted my tea. Double standard in the city hall. ????????over two hours s hearing from 6pm to 8:15pm

 Nice government building with friendly people
