Navigating the Systems: FREE Tax Clinic & Mental Wellness Resources Fair Coming this March
Save the date for the SUPER TAX CLINIC & RESOURCES FAIR, happening at the Hornby Community Hall on March 11th (10:30am-3pm) and the Denman Community Hall on March 12th (10:30am-4pm).
For questions or updates on past or present tax returns, benefits, or missing T4 / T5 slips & Notices of Assessments (NOA), this is the opportunity to speak to in-person outreach representatives from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and Service Canada to help you navigate the system.
Please bring government issued ID. If you already have your NOAs and tax slips, it will save you time. This will be a one-on-one service, based on a first come, first served basis. If you have all your information and just need help with getting your taxes done, limited volunteer tax filing will also be available on premises.
The Ministry of Social Development and Poverty Reduction will also be in attendance in their mobile office, and have experience in providing identifying information for clients that don’t have their ID. They can also help with provincial income or disability assistance, including cheque-printing capabilities, and are equipped with outreach supplies for those who are unhoused or precariously housed.
To help navigate some of the other challenging systems out there, representatives from a variety of organizations have been invited to inform and guide Islanders to local resources available to them. Information tables will cover gender clinic services, community and benefits advocacy, sexual assault services and counseling, withdrawal management and detox services, and crisis line information.
This is a free event hosted by Hornby Denman Health, so come out! Get informed, get some help, get connected.
