Higher tax bill in Callander

Callander residents will see a 6.23 per cent tax levy increase this year.

The budget was approved and passed by council this week and means the tax for an average priced home is 128 dollars more,

In a release, the new rate which is 2.33 per cent higher than last year will help officials meet its goals while allowing for continued investment in municipal assets.

The release says Callander reserves will also go up to support future needs and to deal with unforseen events and emergencies.
