Orangeville Public Library is once again hosting the Community Volunteer Income Tax Program (CVITP). The 2025 free clinic is available on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at the Mill Street Library and on Mondays at the Orangeville Seniors Centre. It will run until April 25.
The CVITP program, staffed by trained volunteers, helps individuals and families e-file their 2024 tax return. From students to seniors, those with a modest income and a simple tax situation are eligible for this service. Find out if you are eligible for the tax program.
Starting on Monday, March 3:
Participants need to bring personal identification, all tax slips, rent or property tax receipts, summary of prescriptions, charitable donations, and other related documents.
For the drop-off service, individuals will present ID, sign a consent form, and leave receipts with library staff. A tax volunteer will follow up to conduct a telephone interview. After the tax return is filed online, the original tax receipts will be mailed back to the participant at no charge. The last drop-off date is Friday, April 25.
CVITP is offered with support from the Canada Revenue Agency.

Explore the amazing world of loose parts inspired by children's stories with Alyson Pell from The Sunflower School. This month's program will take inspiration from "Maybe Something Beautiful: How Art Transformed a Neighborhood" by F. Isabel Campoy and Theresa Howell.
For ages 2.5 to 6 years with a parent/caregiver. This is a drop in program.
Loose parts are materials that can be moved, carried, combined, redesigned, lined up, and taken apart and put back together in multiple ways. Loose parts' theory is about remembering that the best play comes from things that allow children to play in many different ways.
