WIDHH Tax Night

0

I am sorry to inform you that WIDHH Tax Night is now full. At this time no new people can be accepted for Tax Night.

There are some senior centers that would provide Income tax return for you. They have volunteers who are certified to do Income Tax Return for seniors. Some may have restrictions like you earning too much money or having complicated business/investment income to report.

There are some people who would do Income Tax Return, but they should be certified by CRA sponsored/approved training as to show that they know how to make claims especially deductions on Income Tax Returns.

Also you might want to try UFile or TurboTax online. Both are free if your taxable income is less than $20,000. I have tried both Income Tax Return software last year and earlier this year. They are easy to use and user-friendly.

The Inspector – Phoenix Theatre

0

 

THE INSPECTOR
March 9 – 18, 2017
PHOENIX THEATRE, UVIC

Adapted by Linda Hardy
A West Coast political satire inspired by Nikolay Gogol’s The Government Inspector
Edited by Nicholas Guerreiro

Saturday March 18 at 2pm
with Sign Language Interpretation with Nigel Howard and Jen Ferris

Word arrives in Paradise (a “fictional” West Coast town) that a government inspector is coming incognito. Will the little improprieties of town’s mayor and officials be exposed? When they mistake a cunning ex-civil servant for the inspector, their schemes are turned against them. As the greed, corruption, and hypocrisy escalate, this satirical farce spins hilariously out of control. Inspired by local news stories, this adaptation of Gogol’s 19th-century comedy of errors is no less relevant – and possibly even more humorous! – when reimagined into our own political landscape.
