The good news for Callander residents is that taxes aren’t going up as much this year than last but the bad news is they are going up.

This week, council increased the tax levy by 2.98 %.

That’s down from last year’s figure of 3.72%.

Officials say that works out to $57 more this year and about $15 less than a year ago.

Residents are also facing a 7 % increase in their water bill.

This means your bill will be an extra $3.78 a month.
