Tutoring can be claimed as a medical expense!

According to the CRA;

"Tutoring services that are additional to the primary education of a person with a learning disability or an impairment in mental functions, and paid to a person in the business of providing these services to individuals who are not related to the person. A medical practitioner must certify in writing that these services are needed."

Be sure to check with your own tax services for additional information and filing requirements.

Continuing our good news stories. We're pleased to welcome our newest community partner, Walmart Canada store #1104 who've selected BC Learning Centres for Children with Dyslexia as one of their charities of choice for 2017.

We are so pleased to welcome our newest donor, the Edith Lando Foundation, to our Centre.

The Edith Lando Charitable Foundation was begun by Edith Lando and is dedicated to fostering the self-esteem of children.

Edith was a true philanthropist and visionary. Throughout her life--but especially in her later years--her goal and passion was to help people, especially children, develop to their fullest, always believing in their potential.
