DAR R E L L N E SBIT T / SO U T H M O U N T AIN PR E SS Backed by the slogan “We Move Anything”, Minty’s Moving Ltd. has not only served the Onanole area, but as the need grew, focused on much larger structures of various shapes and sizes across Manitoba, with moves have been accommodated in Ontario, Saskatchewan, and Alberta. Over the past few weeks, a crew focused on preparation and the move off-site of the old motel building at Buffalo Resort in Wasagaming, after cutting it into two sections.

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.
