Subject: Tax credits and tax refunds
Hi all,

You may know that the way that certain tax refunds are being paid to low income people by the province has changed and will continue to change in the next several months - and this means that these credits are no longer being paid in lump-sum tax refunds.

We have prepared an Information Bulletin about this issue, and I have attached it here.

Please feel free to forward this to anyone you think might benefit from this information - friends, local community groups, agencies that work with people who have low incomes, etc.

Cheers,
Jennefer
