On that note


First/top comment...

Same as boarding any bus in Surrey. Smells like a constant combination of rotten onion, rotten milk, rotten curry and BO. There's no way you can leave the house and not smell that stench on yourself! Do the rest of us a favour and wash yourself, your clothes and throw on some deodorant!

Not that this is a bad thing (hey, any new paid holiday is a good thing) but I can already smell the outrage machine turning its ignition when the day off comes and most people just go and do normal holiday shit.

Sadly, if I was pressed, I couldn’t tell you how much our property taxes are. And I am an accountant.

1) I didn’t know Rugby Sevens was such a crazy thing here until yesterday.

2) The crowd at Leaf games here is fun as hell and 4pm games rock.

3) Both of those events paled in comparison to the line for Costco lol

By the way, at the BC Provincial Cheer Championships (collegiate division) this past weekend, UVIC takes the crown over SFU, TRU, and UBC.

A public meeting is being held on Monday to discuss Surrey’s budget and the potential 17.5 per cent property tax hike.

The proposed tax hike is a culmination of a few factors, according to the city, including the possible halt of the city’s police force transition, global inflation, and other civic services.

The potential double-digit increase in property tax has people within the city worried.

these increases are freaking insane.\


For Delta - The 2023 Financial Plan that was approved by Council included a 4.9% property tax increase. this is more resonable.
