Amarjeet Sohi, Edmonton Ward 12 Councillor

Congratulations Mill Woods Christian School!

On Wednesday, January 27, 2010, I had the pleasure to meet with the staff of Mill Woods Christian School at Leading with Literacy Breakfast, organized by Centre of Family Literacy.

Heartland Transmission Project

For my thoughts on the recently announced Heartland Transmission Project and how it affects Ward 6 please look under Issues.

Haitian Earthquake

On January 12^th, 2010, a devastating 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck the impoverished island nation of Haiti.  The earthquake caused catastrophic damages and massive fatalities.  My thoughts and prayers go out to the people of Haiti and the rescue and aid workers from all over the world who have rushed to their aid.

Property Assessments and You

By now, most of you would have received your 2009 assessment notice. These notices show the assessed value of properties, which are then used by the city to determine each owner’s share of property taxes. This notice is not a tax bill. Your final tax bill comes in May after the addition of the provincial education tax, which is announced in spring, and adjustments due to any final changes in the City’s budget and shifts between property tax.

Happy 2010

Councillor Amarjeet Sohi and his family would like to wish you a Happy New Year.

2010 is bringing many exciting things to our city. January 13th, the Olympic torch arrives in our city and celebrations kick off at 6pm at Sir Winston Churchill Square.

Winter Lights 2010 begins on January 6th and goes until March. Winter Lights will be coming to Ward 6 with Big Winter on February 26- 27, where skating, sledding, and magical lights on the lake are all part of free family fun. It takes place at Jackie Parker Park 4540 - 50 Street N.W.

Hoping you have a great 2010
