Collaboration within the municipal sector was on full display at the Ontario Municipal Tax and Revenue Association’s (OMTRA) annual conference in September. Along with municipal associations, industry and government representatives, MPAC participated in a record six sessions that highlighted the collaborative work and rich policy consideration/implementation discussions happening in the sector right now.
 
“MPAC’s participation in our conference this year not only provided the over 270 delegates with current insights on property assessment issues but also allowed them the opportunity to build their relationship with MPAC staff,” says Maureen Zabiuk, Past President, OMTRA. “The sessions on appeals and the small business tax subclass allowed for the sharing of ideas, collaboration, and learning opportunities as well.”
 
"Presenting at OMTRA’s conference gave us an important opportunity to share appeals data, updates and challenges, as this association includes a large number of municipal staff that deal with similar property assessment appeal situations,” says Georgia Ribeiro, Director Legislative Interpretation, Litigation & Strategy, MPAC.
