With sincere respect Mr. Mayor, this is inaccurate. The tax increase to the province’s portion of the mill rate is 4.41%. If it goes up more than that, it would be due to increased city assessments - not the province. So why the increase? We currently have 45 school projects in Calgary underway – including 14 new projects being announced for Calgary LATER TODAY. In addition, we’re supporting Calgary schools with over $2.24 billion in operating dollars, an increase of almost $100 million compared to last year. We also just announced 171 new teachers and 342 additional EAs for Calgary schools as part of the classroom complexity team push. We literally just added half of Calgary’s population in the last 4 years. We have some catching up to do and this part of it. Hope this clarifies things a bit for your team. Keep up the good work Mr. Mayor :)
