Income Tax Help
Advertisement
The Fort St. John Public Library is offering an online income tax help session for individuals of modest income. People of no fixed address are also welcome to use this service. You can join this webinar at the library or get the link by emailing programs@fsjpl.ca. The webinar is scheduled for April 4 from 6 to 7 p.m. It is put on by Canada Revenue Agency and will discuss benefits and credits, ways to do your taxes, free tax help, how to keep getting your payments, CRA services and tools, and scam awareness. You will have a chance to ask questions and have them answered.
For brief hints on taxes go to “Seniors in Canada YouTube Channel.” This video shows a senior talking about benefits and services in Canada. It’s short but includes important links.
Knowledge Network
Lorne and I have enjoyed watching nature programs on the Knowledge Network. A while bac, we saw one on bald eagles. A webcam had been set up by a nest so we got to see the development from the egg to the young leaving the nest.

RISING ABOVE ADDICTIONS
Last Wednesday at the Pomeroy arena, the group Rising Above came here to discuss their prospects of opening a new rehab centre in the Baldonnel area. The Grande Prairie-based team consisted of Mel Siggelkow as the Executive Director, Stephanie Hudson as the Communications and Development Manager, and Mark Van Der Raadt as the Employment Readiness Facilitator. The attendance consisted of the three staffers and the crowd, which numbered approximately 40-plus people.
We were pleasantly surprised to see John Elliot joining in as a guest scientist on the video. We knew he was a biologist, but hadn’t heard that he was doing research. I was friends with John’s wife Cathy. You may remember her as the librarian at the Fort St. John Public Library. Sadly, Cathy passed away far too young.
