Benefits wayfinder

For many Canadians searching for government benefits can feel like wading through a huge ocean of information. With so many benefits programs out there, it can be hard for people to know where to start and what benefits they could get.

The Benefits Wayfinder is a simple, easy to use, plain language tool that helps people on low and modest incomes find and track benefits they could get. The information and resources provided are from federal, provincial, and territorial governments, updated on an ongoing basis as new information becomes available.

To make an appointment with one of our Benefits Wayfinder staff, please call
403-342-5355.

The Benefits Wayfinder was developed by Prosper Canada and sponsored by TD Bank Group.

Volunteer Income Tax Program

Do you need help with your tax return? You may be eligible for help at a free tax clinic if you have a modest income and a simple tax situation.

The Community Volunteer Income Tax Program (CVITP) has existed since 1971 and is a longstanding partnership between the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and community organizations and their volunteers. Through the Community Volunteer Income Tax Program (CVITP), the Red Deer Food Bank hosts free tax clinics where our volunteers file tax returns for people with a modest income and a simple tax situation.

Individuals need to do their taxes every year to qualify for many federal, provincial, and municipal programs and services. This is a difficult and sometimes overwhelming task for many people in need.

The CVITP is offered free of charge to everyone who meets the eligibility criteria, and includes doing taxes for current and previous years.

Find out what you need to get your taxes done at a free tax clinic, and if you are eligible.

For more information, please call 403-342-5355.
