The City of Regina has approved a 100 per cent property tax exemption for 3 of Phoenix Residential Society’s facilities for 2024.

The Community Non-Profit Tax Exemption will result in a significant cost savings for Phoenix. Sheila Wignes-Paton, Executive Director of Phoenix said “We are very grateful to the City for providing the exemption. To have the full tax amount exempted will have a positive impact on operational costs and in turn, will also benefit the residents living in these facilities.”

One of the properties receiving the tax exemption is McEwen Manor, which is owned by Ranch Ehrlo. The other properties are owned by Ackerman & Co Investments and Halifax Holdings West. Phoenix is grateful for the partnership with all the property owners. Ann Marie Piniach, Director of Staff Development says that “we appreciate the support we receive from the property owners. Knowing they are taking care of the property management allows us to focus on providing services to the individuals living there”.

Phoenix was able to apply and qualify for the 2024 Community Non-Profit Tax Exemption under the community safety and wellbeing stream of the municipal program.
