As St Patrick’s day approaches, I am always filled with memories of my family home being filled with shamrocks as a child, cut out of course, painting the basement floor green for the celebration, and loud music.
Listening to my father quote the odd limerick and speak periodically to me in Gaelic.
I am a first-generation child to Canada; my entire family comes from Ireland. It was a special
day for me and is a sort of sad time which is hard to explain.
I will celebrate with my Irish sisters at Heartwood Concert Hall listening to our local One Night Band, tap our feet, maybe a dance, and of course a beer, oops maybe a whiskey.

Some tax filing tidbits
- It’s easier than ever to manage your tax affairs onlineThe Canada Revenue Agency has simplified the process for registering for an account, which allows you to manage your personal tax information online. Instead of waiting for a security code in the mail, you can verify your identity immediately with the document verification service.Also, when you’re registered and have full access to the portal, you can use the new online chat service in your account to discuss account-specific questions and issues with a live agent without having to call.
- First-time homebuyer withdrawalsAre you planning to withdraw funds from your Registered Retirement Savings Plan to buy or build your first home? If so, you should know that eligible first-time homebuyers can now withdraw up to $60,000.
- Short-term rentalsIf you operate a non-compliant short-term rental property, you cannot deduct any related expenses incurred during the portion of the tax year where it is non-compliant. For 2024, there is an exception: as long as your property becomes compliant with the applicable laws of the municipality or province where it is located by December 31, 2024, you are considered compliant for all of 2024.
- Volunteer firefighters’ exemption amountAre you a volunteer firefighter or a search-and-rescue volunteer? If you are and you completed at least 200 hours of service last year, the amount your credit is based on has increased from $3,000 to $6,000.
- SimpleFile servicesLower-income individuals may receive an invitation from the agency to file their tax return securely over the phone or digitally.
