Municipalities impose property taxes that include the amounts they are required by The Public Schools Act to raise for school purposes. These are commonly referred to as school taxes. A levy is imposed, in lieu of school taxes, on the incremental assessed value of properties designated under The Community Revitalization Tax Increment Financing Act as community revitalization properties. For the purpose of this note, “school taxes” includes the community revitalization levy.
This Bill is designed to reduce school taxes by means of a system of rebates.

Historical legal research is now even easier thanks to an updated legislation comparison tool from CanLII.
Users can now select two versions of an act from Federal and Provincial legislation to see what text has been changed between them. Simply click on “Versions”, choose two versions, and hit “Compare”.
Scroll through the text side by side to quickly note any differences. Text will be highlighted in red and green to show what has been removed and added.
The font and formatting of each act has also been standardized to make it easier to compare. CanLII also automatically hides any large sections of unchanged text, so scrolling and loading times are now quicker.
Try it out yourself, or learn more about this handy tool on the CanLII Blog.
Heinonline has made a couple of improvements to make searching and logging in easier.
The search box has been amalgamated into a single bar instead of split up into different categories. This will allow you to conduct a broader search in one step rather than multiple queries.
Don’t worry, the option to run a specific search is still there, it has just been integrated into the search bar with a drop down menu.
To learn more about how to use this feature, plus advanced search functions, visit this Heinonline Blog post.
For those of you that use the myHein feature, it is even easier now to log in by linking your Google account. If you are unfamiliar with myHein , it is a personal account you can use to create bookmarks, save queries, and customize your Heinonline experience.
