This learning resource focuses on understanding taxes in Canada. It aims to help students grasp the concept of taxes, which are payments made by individuals and businesses to the government to fund essential community services. The resource outlines the three levels of government in Canada—federal, provincial, and municipal—and what types of taxes each collects. Furthermore, it emphasizes the importance of these taxes in financing public services such as schools, healthcare, parks, and infrastructure. Students will engage in activities that match specific taxes to the services they fund, and they will reflect on the significance of taxes in their own communities.
