Camp Oochigeas is committed to following all rules and regulations regarding tax receipting set out by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). This is also important to protecting our charitable status.

It is very important that you understand the rules about tax receipts BEFORE you plan your event. The requirements for receipting are extensive and time consuming. You may decide, in the end, that if only a small tax receipt can be issued, it may be better not to offer them at all.

It is very important to first ask yourself:
Is receiving a tax receipt important to the people participating in my event?

If the answer is NO, you will be saving yourself and Camp Oochigeas many hours of work by deciding not to offer them. Camp Oochigeas would be pleased to provide a thank you letter confirming any gift rather than issuing a tax receipt.

If the answer is YES, then be sure to review the following information about tax receipts and talk with us to confirm your plan.
