Our not-for-profit Canadian Arctic Aid Society is incorporated under the Society Act of British Columbia. Our operating name is Canadian Arctic Service Corps.The purposes of our not-for-profit Society are:
• To provide humanitarian aid to people and communities in the Canadian Arctic.
• To provide resources and support to ameliorate hunger, housing, medical, educational, employment, financial and social suffering and distresses for people and communities in the Canadian Arctic.
• To educate the general public about, and foster an appreciation for, the culture and needs of people and communities in the Canadian Arctic.
• To provide similar or related services in the Canadian Arctic or other locales, as recommended by the membership and executive.
Our web domain is registered (http://www.arcticaid.ca/), and our website is now being built.
We’ve begun the process to obtain approval from Canada Revenue Agency as a registered charity. Until approved by CRA, we cannot issue tax receipts for donations received although we may accept donations.
Our founding members and directors (all unpaid volunteers) are now developing the infrastructure, program, fundraising and sponsorships needed to deliver much-needed aid to our Arctic citizens. If you want to be part of the solution, your suggestions or fundraising activity will be greatly appreciated. Our contact information appears above – we’d love to hear from you!
If you care to make a humanitarian difference in the life of Canadians in our high latitudes, please donate now. Make your cheque payable to Canadian Arctic Aid Society and mail it to our address shown above. Every dollar counts - $75, $100 or more!
Please join with us to improve living conditions for our farthest-north citizens.
