Invite MPAC to your upcoming community events

If your constituency office is hosting a senior’s seminar, local fair, barbecue, or open house for your constituents, we would be excited to attend.

 

MPAC frequently engages with property owners across Ontario to help them understand how property assessment and taxation work. Our Government Relations team brings a branded booth, helpful one-pagers on key assessment topics, and giveaway items – and we’re happy to answer questions directly from constituents.

 

Having MPAC at your event is a great way to provide trusted information and support to your community. Please connect with James Harvey for more information.
