***Did you know that you can donate stocks/equities directly to CanAssist?  Donors receive a tax receipt for the market value of the stock at the time of transfer and donation of the equity to a registered charity foregoes the necessity to pay capital gains.  Double savings for the donor and good for the charity as well. Read more about this option here. The process is simple and can be handled by emailing our treasurer David Kay here or by clicking on the Canada Helps Donate Securities link below.***
