When was the last time you thought about your parish utility and other service providers? If it's been more than a year or two, you might be able to make cost-saving changes!

For utilities cost comparisons, check out the Utilities Consumer Advocate (https://www.ucahelps.alberta.ca/cost-comparison-tool.aspx) for potential savings.

Although garbage and recycling service rates tend to sneak up year over year, researching service providers might be worth the time investment. Many communities have options outside the municipality, so it’s worth checking what is available.
