This Thursday, September 19th our Tax AID Team begins new partnership with Maple Ridge Library (130-22470 Dewdney Trunk Road, Maple Ridge).

We will be offering income tax consultation and on-site services for people receiving disability benefits (PWD, CPPD and Disability Tax Credit recipients whose income is less than $35,000/year) on the following dates: Thursdays, Sept 19, Oct 17 & Nov 21, 2019, from 10:30 am – 4:30 pm.

Tax AID specializes in filing taxes for clients who have multiple years to taxes to file.

On Monday, September 16^th, the Government of BC announced that the consultation process for forthcoming provincial accessibility legislation had begun. British Columbians will have the opportunity to provide their input and help shape the legislation until November 29^th, 2019.

You are invited to read the Accessibility Framework document and make your voice heard by completing the online questionnaire, sending your comments by telephone or email, attending an in-person session, and/or participating in a virtual town hall. The Accessibility Framework and all information about how to participate is available here: https://www.engage.gov.bc.ca/accessibility/.

Community groups, libraries and other organizations can also participate by applying for funding and resources totaling up to $2,000 to hold their own community meetings and provide feedback. For details, visit SPARC BC: https://www.sparc.bc.ca/accessibility-legislation/.

Disability Alliance BC is encouraged by the scope of the consultation process and excited to see how this legislation will take shape.

DABC’s Tax AID program is hiring a Program Assistant! People with disabilities are encouraged to apply.
