Income tax season is often stressful and regularly frustrating. For those facing additional pressures and challenges impacting filing, it can add up. As part of its work as a community hub, the Orangeville Public Library (OPL) is once again offering the free Community Volunteer Income Tax Program, with support from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).
The program is managed by trained volunteers who are offering their expertise to individuals and families with modest incomes and simple tax situations for filing of 2024 tax returns.
Over the past three years, the OPL has assisted with over 1,000 returns, encouraging financial literacy through a welcoming community space for those who need it most.
