Climate Action Incentive Payment Is Giving Out Money In January & You Could Get Over $300 https://t.co/gMMXYELkGG

FYI: Climate Action Incentive payments are being issued on January 15th here in NB. This payment is $92 for the first adult in the house, $46 for the second adult, and $23 for each child. A couple of things…you have to file tax returns to get these payments…It’s also important to note that if you have income tax balances owing with the CRA or amounts owing to any other federal or provincial government programs, the government will apply the CAIP to those debts.

Some Riverview High School students are trying to help out with the homelessness issue. A group of seven grade niners at RHS are members of the Greater Moncton YMCA Community Action Network and they’re doing a clothing & supply drive for homeless people this month. The students are looking for donations of new or gently used hats, mittens, scarves, winter coats, winter boots, sleeping bags, sleeping mats, tents, tarps, mylar blankets, regular blankets, hygiene products, hand warmers, and warm clothing. They are also looking for donations of new and unworn men and women’s undergarments in sizes small to medium.
The students will be collecting donations during school hours (8am-4pm) up until January 18th at Riverview High School – 400 Whitepine Rd, Riverview, New Brunswick. You will find their big red donation bin as you enter through the main foyer and turn right towards the Main Office. For further information, please contact Brianna Roy at Brianna.Roy@ymcamoncton.ca
