Debate: Edmonton has the highest home-based business fees

Photographers, freelancers and consultants who work from home are paying the highest fees in the region to open a home-based business in Edmonton, regardless of whether it actually increases traffic in the neighbourhoods. 
Mayor Don Iveson promised to push for lower fees during the last municipal election and the issue is expected to be debated at city council on April 24.
The debate was previously scheduled to land at council’s urban planning committee Tuesday.
