Frequently Asked Questions

Q:  What is a ratepayers’ or residents’ association?

A:  Such associations are recognized by the City as speaking for a group of residents with common interests.  These associations receive regular communications from their Councillor in order that members are well-informed on issues in their area.  TOPCA receives such communications from Ward 1 Councillor Carmen Corbasson and will be posting them on this website.  Click News.
 
Q:  Why should I belong to a ratepayer’s association?
 
A:  As citizens we have the responsibility to speak up on issues that concern us.  Ratepayer or residents’ groups enable us to speak collectively, the better to be heard by those who make the decisions at City Council.  Even if you don’t wish to be an active member, you can lend support simply by joining.  Click Membership.
