Volunteer Tax Preparers at ICA

ICA is now taking appointments for Canada Revenue Agency trained volunteers to prepare your taxes. These start Monday, March 1st and run to the first week of May. Our front desk, or a settlement worker at ICA will determine if you are eligible for this volunteer service.

When you sign up for an appointment, you will be given a reminder sheet telling you everything to bring to your appointment. Many of our tax preparers speak another language, and are looking forward to helping out clients.

Please drop by our reception area or call 388-4728 if you would like to sign up.

Conversation Buddies Needed

Conversation Buddies
Mondays, March 22 - June 21, 9:30-10:30 am

Volunteers are needed to help ESL students to practice their English and to learn about Canada and Victoria through weekly conversation. This is a great opportunity to:

  • Learn about other cultures and languages
  • Meet new friends
  • Understand the difficulties that immigrants face
  • Make a difference

We are currently interviewing for our Spring session, please contact the Volunteer Community Bridging Assistant to set up an intake interview.
