Community Super Clinics for 2026

Coquitlam Public Library is proud to partner with the Canada Revenue Agency, Service Canada and the Ministry of Social Development and Poverty Reduction to host a Super Clinic.

These clinics bring together multiple government partners—including the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), Service Canada (SC), and the Ministry of Social Development and Poverty Reduction (MSDPR)—to provide essential services and support to individuals in one convenient location.

What is a Super Clinic?
A Super Clinic is a collaborative event designed to help community members access important services such as:

• Tax filing assistance and benefits information (CRA)

Community Income Tax Program (CVITP)

Individuals can get their taxes done by our volunteers if they have a modest income and a simple tax situation. Our volunteers will be able to file any tax returns for the 2016 – 2025 tax years.

To be eligible their total family income should be less than the amounts shown in the chart:

1 person          $40,000

2 people          $55,000

3+                    $5,000 for each additional person

Generally, individuals’ tax situation is considered simple if they have no income or if your income comes from:

• Employment;
• Pension;
• benefits, such as the Canada Pension Plan, Old Age Security, disability insurance, employment insurance, and social assistance;
• registered retirement savings plans support payments;
• scholarships, fellowships, bursaries or grants;
• interest (under $1,000).

Your tax situation is not simple if you:

• are self-employed, except if your income is less than $1,000;
• have employment expenses; business or rental income and expenses;
