Community Health Centre: Healthy People, Vibrant Communities

August 2020 Newsletter

If you have not completed your Income Tax return this year, the Community Health Centre is still running a free income tax service. The program is affiliated with Canada Revenue Agency’s Community Volunteer Income Tax Program. If you have a modest income and a simple tax situation, you may qualify for this program.

Please note that if you are currently receiving the GST/HST Credit or Canada Child Benefit, you will stop receiving them starting in October if you have not filed your Income Tax by September 30, 2020.

If you have any questions, or if you would like to make arrangements to drop off your taxes or have them picked up, please contact us at 519-986-2222 ext.6376.

NEW Mental Health Handout from Ontario Caregivers Organization and BounceBack

Many caregivers report that they experience anxiety and stress in providing care and support to family members, partners, friends and neighbours. Just as important as the support they provide others, we emphasize the need for caregivers to take care of their own mental and physical health.

International Overdose Awareness Day (IOAD) is a global event held on August 31st each year and aims to raise awareness of overdose and reduce the stigma of a drug-related death. It also acknowledges the grief felt by families and friends remembering those who have met with death or permanent injury as a result of drug overdose.

More information can be found at Public Health Grey Bruce.
