Here are a few questions from residents over the past month. For more information on any Council-related topics, please visit the FAQ page at jasminemian.com or contact my office directly at [email protected].

Q: Why didn’t Council give an exemption to Co-Op for their compostable grocery bags?

A: When Calgary passed the Single Use Bylaw, it was to get a head start at aligning with the incoming federal regulations and bans on single use items. While the City of Calgary cannot override the federal legislation, if these bags are given an exemption at the federal level, Council is prepared to include this in our local bylaw as well.

Q: What should I do if I have a question about my Property Tax Assessment?

All FAQ related to property tax assessments can be found at calgary.ca/assessment. Please note that property tax assessments have been mailed, and the Review Period will be underway until March 13. If you need extra assistance, reach out to our office.

A quick reminder that CPS has launched their annual Operation Cold Start. Since November of 2022, more than 240 idling vehicles have been stolen. As tempting as it is in this cold weather to start your car and wait inside, CPS discourages that practice at all costs. Stay warm but stay safe, and do not leave keys or other valuables in an unattended vehicle.
