Neat to Know: April 24, 2025
Your weekly roundup of City news, updates, and other important information.
Property Tax Bylaw passed
The 2025 Property Tax Bylaw was passed by City Council on April 22. The approved new tax rates will result in a 5.6% increase to the municipal tax rate for the median taxpayer. The 2025 tax notices will be mailed on May 21.
Please note, the City also collects education taxes on behalf of the Government of Alberta, and this requisition is included on property tax notices. This year’s education tax requisition from the province increased by 11.7% over 2024, which will impact local property tax notices.

Street sweeping reaches residential roads
The residential portion of our 2025 Spring Street Sweeping Program is right around the corner. Crews are completing school zone sweeping this week during the Easter break.
They will move on to Residential Zone 1 on Monday, April 28 – one week earlier than anticipated at the start of this year’s program!
