A tribute has been growing in front of Town Hall as residents have placed shoes to honour the 215 school children whose remains were discovered on the grounds of a residential school in Kamloops, B.C. The flags in front of Town Hall have also been lowered to half mast.

Our thoughts are with the families impacted, the Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc community and all residential school survivors.

Tune in for a Committee of the Whole Meeting and Regular Meeting of Council that will stream live on Monday, June 14 on highriver.ca/council-meetings.

Go to highriver.ca/council-meetings for the agendas and to view them as they are streamed live. Meetings are also saved on the Town's You Tube channel for watching live, or later.

High River Town Council continues to hold the line on taxes. A 2021 Property Tax Newsletter mailed to residents explains the 2021 budget. Did you know a 2021 survey shows High River has lower than average municipal property tax rates in the region?

The newsletter provides charts showing where your tax dollars go. The top key service areas are Protective Services, Fire, Streets & Roads and Parks & Recreation.

This graph shows how one tax dollar is spent on services for residents. For example, 15 cents of every dollar goes towards Fire Services.

This plan lets people pay property taxes in equal monthly installments instead of one single annual payment. Payment is automatically transferred from your bank account on the 15th of each month.

In recognition of World Elder Abuse Awareness

Day on June 15th, the Town of High River FCSS

is sharing information and tips on elder abuse

and fraud. Financial abuse and fraud are among

the most prevalent forms of abuse within the

elderly population. Seniors and elderly individuals are often common targets as scammers perceive them to be more vulnerable, isolated or lonely and once an individual experiences fraud, they are more likely to be targeted again. Common scams within our community include prize pitches, false extortion from CRA banks or law enforcement, phishing (asking for passwords, credit cards, personal info), and recently, asking for money to book a COVID-19 vaccine appointment.
