Cornish Public School where she is a teacher assistant. Sonya, a 17 year old grade 12 stu- dent at Port Perry High, is a student in the school's co-operative educa- tion program. She sent'in a resume last spring and went to meetings "where the teachers who wanted help from students decided who would go to which classrooms. Sonya decided a couple of years ago that she would like to teach languages and the program is giv- ing her the chance to find out what it's like. She works with Kindergarten and Grade One children to help them understand French better. They read from their readers, go through flashcards, learn the alphabet and numbers, and work on activities.

Phone: 985-2916 or 623-4473 COLLECT WANT TO APPEAL You still have time to appeal your 1986 assessment if you _feel your home or business property has been improperly assessed. Your assessment is important because the amount cf property tax you pay depends on it, in that the assessed value of your property is multiplied by your municipal and school mill rate to determine your 1987 property taxes. Notices of Assessment have been mailed to property owners and tenants, whose assessments have changed since last year. Open houses have been held in your area to answer questions and amend assessment information if necessary. Open house dates and locations were announced in a previous advertisement. The Assessment Roll has now been delivered to your municipality for the purposes of calculating the amount of tax you must pay on your property in 1987. For informa- tion on your assessment, the Assessment Roll is now available for review at your Municipal Office during regu- lar business hours. If you feel your property has been improperly assessed, and you have not yet made your appeal known, you still have until February 26, 1987 to deliver or mail an appeal to the Assessment Review Board. And remember, even if you did not receive a Notice of Assessment, you still have the right to appeal. Appeal deadline -- February 26, 1987 The Assessment Review Board is an impartial body reporting to the Attorney General of Ontario which pro- vides you with an additional opportunity to have your assessment reviewed if, in your opinion, it is not fair and equitable with similar properties in your area. The Review Board is more informal and relaxed than a regular court of law. You may present your own case, retain a lawyer, or ask a relative or friend to speak as your agent. To help you in filing your appeal, Notice of Appeal forms are available from the Assessment Review Board, your Regional Assessment Office, or your Municipal Office. As well, you can use the reverse side of a Notice of Assess- ment or write a letter stating the property address and roll number together with your reasons for appealing. Appeals should be forwarded to the Regional Registrar of the Assessment Review Board listed below.
