LEADING THE WAY
DARRELL NESBITT/CROSSROADS THIS WEEK
The saying, ‘you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink’ summed up a scene at the CamZiprick farm, east of Russell, when a pair of mares were being led to a fresh round bale of hay, but needed coaxing from their caregiver to make it to the feeder. Cam and wife Sherisse and their family are well known across North America as top thoroughbred breeders.
Tax assistance offered across the region
RACHEAL FLINTOFT
Crossroads This Week
The Community Volunteer Income Tax Program is well underway across the region, as many locations are offering free tax filing assistance to low-income individuals.
This initiative, a collaboration between local community organi-
zations and the Canada Revenue Agency, is set to help seniors, newcomers, students, and other eligible residents’ access vital benefits by ensuring their tax returns are accurately completed. According to Prairie Mountain Health, “income and health are directly related, and better income can lead to better health, education, and well-being.” Highlighting
the importance of completing a tax return, filing accurately will maintain access to benefits such as GST refunds, Canada Child Benefit, MB Rent Assist, Disability Tax Credits, and Pharmacare deductibles.
Residents are eligible for this free service if their income falls below specified thresholds: under $35,000 for individuals, under
$45,000 for two-person households, with an additional $2,500 for each dependent.
