Hello Leduc and Beaumont! Friday brings a few practical dates for new-build owners, a meaningful seniors-housing update, and the first hints of the holiday season. Here's a clear look at what's confirmed.

Did Leduc's new-build tax notices go out today?

Yes. The City of Leduc is issuing Supplementary Assessment and Property Tax Notices today, Friday, November 6, 2026, for residential and non-residential properties that completed construction or were purchased as new builds in 2026.

Key dates from the City:

• Notice of Assessment date: November 16, 2026

• Deadline to file a formal assessment complaint: January 15, 2027

• Supplementary tax payments due: December 31, 2026

If you expect a notice and do not receive one, the City still considers owners responsible for any taxes owing, so it is worth confirming with Assessment and Tax at the Leduc Civic Centre.

What's happening with Planeview Place seniors housing?

Alberta's Seniors Lodge Modernization Program lists up to $26.2 million for the Planeview Place Redevelopment in Leduc, through the Leduc Regional Housing Foundation. The provincial list is dated October 26, 2026.

That kind of investment matters for families thinking about aging in place, multi-generational moves, or freeing up a family home in Leduc and nearby communities. Project timing and unit details continue to come from the foundation and local coverage as plans move ahead.

What did Beaumont say about the Leduc-Beaumont riding?

On November 4, Beaumont Mayor Lisa Vanderkwaak responded to an independent advisory panel's report on Alberta's provincial electoral boundaries. She said the panel opted to largely restore the Leduc-Beaumont constituency and noted that Beaumont, Leduc and Leduc County form an integrated regional community.

The next step, as the City's statement explains, is for the Legislature to approve the boundaries. Nothing is final until that happens.

When can I register for Light Up Leduc?

Registration for Light Up Leduc 2026 opens November 12. The City invites residents to register decorated homes and help brighten the community for the holidays.

Kick things off at Light Up the Park on Friday, November 20, from 6 to 8 p.m. at Alexandra Park beside the Civic Centre. It is free to attend.

What's next for rates and Leduc's budget?

The Bank of Canada's policy interest rate is 2.50% after the October 28 decision. The next scheduled announcement is Wednesday, December 9, 2026. Every household's situation is different, so if you have a renewal or a purchase coming up, consider speaking with a mortgage professional about your options.

In Leduc, Council continues 2027 budget deliberations. The next public meeting is Monday, November 9 at 5:30 p.m. at the Leduc Civic Centre, with time for public input (register in advance). The budget is scheduled to be presented for approval on Monday, December 7.

What did Budget 2026 confirm on housing?

Finance Canada published Budget 2026 key measures after the November 5 tabling. Confirmed items that may interest local homeowners and buyers include:

• Investing $44.7 billion over 11 years to expand non-market housing and put Canada on a path to end homelessness within 10 years

• New regulations so insured mortgage rate information is clearer and easier to compare

• A National Heat Pump Rebate to help households switch to more efficient heating

I'll keep sharing only confirmed details that matter for Leduc and Beaumont as programs and forms roll out.
