School support designation helps property owners and tenants identify which school board they wish to support during school board elections and ensures that school support funding is directed to the appropriate board. By default, and as required by provincial legislation, school support is assigned to the English Public school board.

• English Separate (Catholic)
• French Public
• French Separate (Catholic)

The Municipal Property Assessment Corporation manages all school support designations. To learn more or to update your school support preference, please visit mpac.ca/schoolsupport.
