Over $1.1 MILLION Unlocked in Benefits for Haliburton County Residents in 2025! 

Last year, through our Free Income Tax Clinics, our team of volunteers and staff filed 401 tax returns for 305 people across Haliburton County. 

This unlocked over one million dollars in tax benefits for Haliburton County Residents!

Tax filing is often a barrier for households to access critical government supports like the ‘baby bonus’ (Canada Child Benefit), GST/HST rebates, Ontario Trillium Benefit and more.

​These free income tax clinics help folks to overcome this barrier and access critical dollars they can use to cover basic needs such as food, transportation, heat and hydro.


Last year's impact would not have been possible without the support of:

  • Our amazing volunteers and staff who committed countless hours to supporting fellow community members
  • Food Banks Canada's Tax Filing Grant with support of KPMG Canada ($2,500)
  • Government of Canada's CRA CVITP Grant ($2,065)

And donations of the space to host the 2025 Tax Clinics were generously provided by:
  • Municipality of Highlands East
  • Haliburton Legion Branch 129
  • Minden Community Food Centre

We are incredibly grateful to the staff, volunteers and organizations who contribute to the success of these clinics.

Together, we make our community stronger.

If you are in need of free tax support this year, registration is now open! Clinics are running from March 3rd - April 30th, 2026 in Wilberforce, Haliburton and Minden. To register, please call 705-306-0565
