Council is inviting residents to weigh in on a proposed hike in a number of city fees.

Councillors will consider a new rate and fee schedule for 2022 at their June 14th meeting.

On average the proposed hike in fees, for things like swim lessons, the Garden City Golf Course, public skating and dog licences, is around 1.5 percent.

Council is also considering adopting 13 new fees for short term rental licences, the creation of older adult tennis memberships, a fee for staff attendance at a wedding rehearsal,

Residents can request to speak to council during Monday's meeting by Sunday at midnight or can drop off, email or mail submissions.
