Residents in Banff looking for help with their taxes can get free support during a special clinic held on April 15, 2026. The Canada Revenue Agency is setting up in the Pioneer Room at the Catharine Robb Whyte Building, located at 101 Bear St., to provide one-on-one assistance to the public.
The clinic will run from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM. The day begins with a group information session from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM, which will cover various benefits and credits for individuals and families. Topics scheduled for discussion include the Canada Child Benefit, the Disability Tax Credit, the GST/HST Credit, and the Canada Workers Benefit, among others. This session is particularly timely, as the deadline for most Canadians to file their 2025 tax returns is April 30, 2026.
In addition to tax filing support, the clinic coincides with the start of the renewal period for the Canadian Dental Care Plan. This provides an opportunity for residents to ask federal agents questions about the plan’s coverage and requirements. Those planning to attend the clinic should bring their government-issued photo ID and their Social Insurance Number to ensure they can receive proper service from the agents on site.
The Town of Banff regularly works to support residents with tax preparation through its Community Volunteer Income Tax Program. This local initiative is designed for residents with simple tax situations who meet specific income guidelines. Individuals interested in learning more about this ongoing volunteer service can reach out to the town’s seniors support coordinator for more information.
