It’s not fair’: Edmonton’s mayor asks for residents’ help to get province to pay $80M in taxes owed

Edmonton's mayor has initiated the 'Fair Compensation Project' to advocate for better funding from the Alberta government, highlighting that the province owes $80 million in property taxes since 2019. The campaign aims to address the unfair financial burden on local taxpayers, as provincial buildings only pay half of the municipal service costs. The mayor emphasizes the need for the province to fulfill its responsibilities in areas like health care and public safety. Meanwhile, the Rural Alberta Municipalities are also campaigning for government action to restore lost tax revenue.
