Sawubona ACS Discussion Group

Greetings community,

As a vital part of our Strategic Planning process we would like to engage 6 - 8 members in a virtual focus group. We only need to meet one time.

We would like to meet on Monday May 4th from 6:30 - 7:30 pm

An honorarium of $75.00 will be provided to each individual that joins us.

I do apologize for the late notice and hope that we can meet this deadline.

Please email us at info@sawubonaacs.org to confirm your intent to attend the session. Once we receive confirmation, we will provide the zoom link.

Attention: Important Tax Update!

We wanted to share a helpful tool from the CRA that could help some people get extra money back this year. Budget 2025 has introduced some big changes to make sure everyone gets the benefits they’re entitled to, like the Canada Child Benefit and the GST/HST credit.

Big News: Starting in the 2026 tax year, the CRA is rolling out automatic tax filing for people with simple tax situations. This means if you have a lower income and don't owe taxes, the CRA might handle the filing for you!

Need to file now? Use these free & easy tools:

SimpleFile: If you're eligible, you can file over the phone or digitally in minutes. Check your CRA "My Account" to see if you're invited!

Free Tax Clinics: If taxes feel overwhelming, there are volunteers who will do them for you for free.

See note below, in both English and French, and reach out if this is a topic of interest to you.

If we have enough interest, I can schedule a virtual information session.

Good Morning,

I hope you are doing well.

I am writing to share important information regarding the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) annual renewal period and to offer support to your organization and clients.

Hello all,

As Sawubona continues to grow, we realize our need for some more human resources. We are therefore putting out a call for someone to assist us with Grant finding and writing. We are seeking a VOLUNTEER to be a part of our Resource Development team, in other words, our fundraising team, to assist with finding and writing grants. Grant writing takes time and as well some expertise in knowing how to write to achieve success. AI (artificial intelligence) is increasingly being used in this area, but we still prefer the human touch. If you have this skill, interest and some extra time or you know of someone who can assist Sawubona, please reach out to us. This is a developing position and the time commitment is flexible and we can discuss what works best for you. We certainly do not want this to be overwhelming. And this may…
