The City of Burnaby presented its list of organizations to receive tax exemption in 2012.
In all, 11 non-profit organizations that are tenants of the city were approved for exemption, as well as seven other community groups.
The Pacific Assistance Dogs Society was approved for a 50 per cent exemption.
Another 11 properties owned by the city but occupied by the Burnaby school district were also given exemption. Seven sports and recreational groups were recommended for exemption by the parks commission.
Four hospital and health organizations were also approved for exemption from paying property taxes, and 79 churches and religious schools in Burnaby.
Another seven nonprofit, charitable and philanthropic organizations were given exemptions, though most were 50 per cent or partial. The Royal Canadian Legion on Hastings Street, which has asked for full exemption in the past, received a partial exemption for 2012.
