The LSPC administers a volunteer income tax clinic on behalf of the Canada Revenue Agency.

The program files income tax returns year-round and is able to complete multiple years (up to 10 years).

Our Income Tax program is evolving this year!

We will begin processing 2024 tax year returns on February 24, 2025.

Every year the Lakehead Social Planning Council and our volunteers prepare and return nearly 10,000 income tax returns for individuals in the Thunder Bay Region. This results in millions of dollars returning into our local economy.

Walk-In Service

Volunteers will be at our office on Wednesdays each week to help you complete your tax return in person at our location in Victoriaville Center.
