You or someone you know may be eligible for the Disability Tax Credit (DTC) - retroactive for up to 10 years. Being eligible for the DTC can open the door to other federal, provincial, or territorial programs such as the registered disability savings plan, the Canada workers benefit, and the child disability benefit.
My office wants to make sure that every eligible New Westminster-Burnaby resident knows how to access this legitimate entitlement. Please join my Disability Tax Credit Virtual Workshop to find out more details.

I am writing to you today to invite you to my virtual Christmas celebration, taking place via Zoom on Saturday December 19, from 1 PM to 2 PM PST.
Due to the pandemic, this year’s celebration will take place virtually in order to respect the provincial guidelines and to keep our community safe and healthy. The celebration will include special guests as well as some festive entertainment! Despite not being able to get together physically during this holiday season, we hope you will join our virtual celebration this year, where we can all come together and celebrate the holiday season safely!
You can receive the Zoom link to the celebration by signing up online, OR by contacting my office at 604-775-5707.
I look forward to seeing you at the celebration.
