The benefit allows families to receive up-front, direct payments up to $650 per year, per child, for two years (totalling up to $1300) for dental care services. Canada Revenue Agency will be processing the applications and payments for the benefit.
Families are eligible if they meet the following criteria:

We are bringing back the Loyalist Thrift Sale this spring! We still need 15 VOLUNTEERS!
Hello from School Council!
The Loyalist Thrift Sale is our largest fundraiser of the year and we are hopeful to be running a Spring Thrift Sale. In order to continue moving forward with our planning we require volunteer commitment. Volunteers are a critical component to our sale and with out them, we are unable to run.
