CARBON LEVY IMPACT

Please be aware of this increase will start on the April Utility Bills. 

The current price of $80 per tonne (of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emissions) for heating fuels will increase on April 1, 2025 to $95 per tonne. These rates are prescribed by the Government of Canada on an increasing scale and are scheduled to increase to $170 per tonne by
