Hello,
Thank you again for signing this petition. Your voice matters more than ever.
We’ve revised and relaunched the petition to make it stronger, clearer, and start earlier this time.
We’re asking the District of Sooke Mayor & Council to adopt responsible and realistic tax planning, with clear transparency and early community engagement.
Since you signed, things have only become more urgent.
According to a recent article, households across Canada are “reaching a breaking point as insolvencies surge.” See the full story → Households are reaching a breaking point as insolvencies surge https://www.canadianmortgagetrends.com/2025/11/households-are-reaching-a-breaking-point-as-insolvencies-surge/
Your support continues to matter. If you haven’t already, please consider sharing the petition link with your network so the message reaches even more residents.
Together, we’re reminding local government that:
This isn’t just about the next increase. It’s about a fair system for people’s lives.
Thank you for sticking with us.
