HERE'S HOW TO GET FREE AND CONFIDENTIAL TAX ADVICE

CLINICS BEING HELD IN ALLISTON AND ANGUS

United Way Simcoe Muskoka tax sites in Essa Township and New Tecumseth are now open and will continue to run until the end of April.

This free tax-preparation service is offered to individuals and families, seniors and persons with disabilities with low incomes in partnership with the Canada Revenue Agency Community Volunteer Income Tax Program.

"Tax season can be difficult, and tax preparation fees can be prohibitive to many," Brian Shelley, chief executive and philanthropy officer, United Way Simcoe Muskoka, stated in a press release. "By offering this service for free, we hope that we can help individuals access social benefits that they may be missing out on."

Tax clinics take place at the following locations:

• New Tecumseth Public Library (17 Victoria St. E.,

Alliston)

• Essa Public Library (8505 County Rd. 10, Unit 1, Angus)

• FOCUS Employment Services (46 Wellington St. W., Alliston)

• FOCUS Employment Services Angus (199 Mill St., Angus)

To be eligible, you must be a resident of Essa or
