Changes to Manitoba Education Property Tax Credit (EPTC) will be effective January 1, 2019

A legislative amendment was passed this spring that changes how the education property tax credit (EPTC) will be applied to resident homeowner's property taxes. Effective January 1, 2019 EPTC will be applied to school taxes only.

Important changes:

• The EPTC will no longer apply to municipal property taxes;
• The property tax minimum threshold amount of $250 has been eliminated;

This means that about approx. 200 of our residents could be affected and are going to see an INCREASE in their tax bill ranging anywhere from $2.00 to $400.00.

For further information contact the Manitoba Tax Assistance Office at 204-948-2115, or toll free at 1-800-782-0771, or e-mail TAO@gov.mb.ca

Recycling Process 

The RM is now commingling recycling into large metal blue bins at all our locations (Inwood WTS, Chatfield WTS and Meleb Waste Disposal Grounds). We no longer require you to sort these items that were being previously sorted into the large white grain bags. These items will be put all together into one bin except for the glass. Glass is to be put into the bin for glass only. Also plastic bags are not to be put into the bins so the recycles must we dumped into the bins loose. There are smaller recycle bins beside the big blue recycling bins to dispose of the plastic bags.

 The items allowed in the bins are:
