We know the provisional budget report raised a lot of eyebrows—rightfully so. A 10%+ increase sounds alarming.

👉 But that number is not final. It’s an early estimate of the cost to maintain the current service levels. Now the real work begins as Council and Administration explore ways to reduce it.

▪ Myth: Property taxes are definitely going up more than 10% next year.
▪ Fact: The recent provisional budget is a starting point, not a final decision. Council and Administration are already working to lower that forecast.

We hear your concerns.
This week’s provisional budget showed a tax increase of over 10% for 2026. But keep in mind, this is only a forecast, not a final decision.

Council and Administration are now rolling up their sleeves to find ways to bring that number down.

Expanded affordable child care has added an estimated $5.8 billion to B.C.’s GDP since 2019 — about 1.3 per cent of the entire provincial economy. Why we need more quality $10aDay child care in BC.... vancouversun.com/opinion/opin...
Opinion: B.C.’s child-care program, once a front-runner, now has the most expensive fees in Canada
B.C. has gone from leader to last place — and only 10 per cent of existing child-care spaces in this province are capped at $10 a day

Bill C-12 could import Trump-style immigration policy to Canada.

This isn’t about safety. It’s about blaming migrants for our national woes instead of holding corporations and the ultra-rich accountable for the affordability and housing crises.
