Register as a Catholic School Supporter 

By ensuring you are a registered separate school supporter:

  • you are able to vote for Catholic school board trustees鈥�
  • you are ensuring that your municipalities property assessment base is up-to-date, which is a public record of support for Catholic schools

Separate school support is an important step when registering at the 91pro视频 at both the elementary and secondary school levels. Roman Catholic and Eastern Rite parents are encouraged to 鈥媎eclare their support for Catholic schools.

When you declare your support for the Catholic school board through your property taxes, you are protecting and preserving Catholic education in Ontario鈥�, by helping to further confirm that the publicly funded Catholic school system is strongly wanted and needed.

School Support Designation

As a property owner in Ontario, you are required to support a school board, even if you do not have children or your children are not currently attending school. By default, your school support is directed to your municipality鈥檚 English Public School 91pro视频.

In the case of a residential property occupied by tenants, they can direct the school support for that property.

Property owners, occupants, and tenants can select which school board they choose to support. Additionally, you will be able to vote in the next municipal election for trustees for the school board that you choose to support.

The Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) is legislatively required to collect school support information and provide it in the assessment roll to every municipality and school board.
