Problems continue to plague the organizers of the Toronto area CURC Council(Congress of Union Retirees of Canada),meeting dates conflict, snow storms etc. Hopefully this will be accomplished Tuesday February 26th 2008. Our executive has given a 1 year mandate to see if we fit this organization.
At our March 4th meeting, we hope to have information and discussion on who may qualify for “disability tax credits” WE have a CD from Kitchener and the forms to review.
