Volunteer Income Tax Program (CVITP) is a collaborative partnership between the
Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), and community organizations like Skeena Diversity.
We will be assisting eligible newcomers and
immigrants with modest income and simple tax situation by preparing tax returns
again this year. We are looking for volunteers to assist with this program. You
will gain a valuable training and experience while assisting many people.

DECEMBER 10: HUMAN RIGHTS DAY
Simply by existing in the world, you are entitled to certain
basic rights: your human rights. Everyone is born with the right to a life of
equality, dignity and respect, free from discrimination. These rights are
protected in law but not always realized.

As we can see, COVID19 is pretty persistent, Northern Health
is reporting new cases in our region, close to home. More restrictions are in
affect.
We are all tired, some of us have been as careful as possible,
protecting our elderly loved ones and each other and yet, the virus is back,
stronger than before.
As the COVID blues sets in, let’s be kind to each other
as Dr. Bonnie Henry urges. But let’s also follow the science. It’s the other
virus – virus of suspicion, conspiracy and disbelief that is a great breeding
ground for the real virus to thrive.
We can see the light at the end of tunnel with the announcements of several vaccines in 2021 but in the meantime, I will do my best to keep everyone around me safe, proudly showing off my mask. And I know you will do the same. Thank you!
