Hi Sooke neighbours,
Please sign and share this petition: Stop Runaway Property Tax Increases in Sooke. https://c.org/SqQCscs2Z9
Property taxes are rising too fast and families are being financially crushed. Council also needs to push the Province to fix the funding model so local taxpayers aren’t carrying provincial costs - see this petition: https://www.change.org/FairFundingModelBCCities

Subject: Property tax increases in Sooke
Mayor and Council,
I support the Stop Runaway Property Tax Increases in Sooke petition.
Many residents are stretched and can’t absorb more tax hikes.
Please keep increases as low as possible and push the Province for a fairer funding model - I hope to see YOUR signature on this particular petition - https://www.change.org/FairFundingModelBCCities
Thank you,
