A big thank you to all of the volunteers that helped out with income-tax preparation this year at the Kent Street Activity Centre.
The volunteers prepared more than 250 income-tax returns, giving their precious time and expertise. This is an invaluable service for seniors 65+ on limited income. For those who were still looking to bring their paperwork in, the deadline has now passed and we can no longer accept returns.
