TOWNHOMES AWARDED

The SAMs recognize outstanding performance, design, innovation, technology, and construction techniques in new and renovated homes. The awards were handed out at the Canadian Home Builders' Association (CHBA) national conference earlier this month in Lake Louise, Alta.
Located at 735 West 15th St. in North Vancouver, seven35 is comprised of 60 stacked townhomes.
TAX RETURN HELP
Need a hand to prepare your tax return? As the tax filing deadline approaches, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) reminds Canadians with low or fixed incomes that volunteers are available in the community to assist with the preparation of tax returns.
Each year, through its Community Volunteer Income Tax Program, the CRA links with community organizations to train volunteers to complete basic tax returns. The community organizations hold tax-preparation clinics where the volunteers donate their time to help people with simple-tax filing situations complete their income tax and benefit returns, free of charge.
Last year, in B.C. and the Yukon, 2,786 volunteers helped prepare 88,331 income tax returns. To determine if you are eligible for this service call the CRA toll free at 1-800-9598281, or visit www.cra.gc.ca/volunteer for a complete listing of volunteer tax preparation clinic locations.
