Receipts will be available for:
- Child Care
- Day Camp
* Please be advised that the Children’s Fitness Tax Credit is no longer available. Effective as of 2017, the Children’s Fitness Tax Credit was phased out of the new Federal Budget. 2016 was the last year Canadians could claim federal tax write-offs for their children’s fitness activities under the Children’s Fitness Tax Credit.
This process does not include YMCA charitable receipts. All charitable receipts for 2017 will be mailed directly to donors in early January. If you have not received yours or have lost or misplaced it, please contact Nora Jenter for assistance at nora.jenter@niagara.ymca.ca
