The Community Volunteer Income Tax Program (CVITP) is returning to the Bruce County Public Library (BCPL) for the 2026 tax season. This program offers free, volunteer-led income tax filing support for eligible residents. This program makes a meaningful impact across the community.
In 2025, BCPL volunteers assisted in filing 433 income tax returns, resulting in over $1.3 million in refunds and benefits returning to Bruce County residents.
“As a trusted community connector, BCPL is proud to offer this valuable service once
again. Thanks to the dedication of our volunteers, even more residents can access the
financial support available to them this tax season,’ said Library Director Brooke
McLean.
Appointments for the 2026 CVITP begin on Tuesday, February 18, 2026, at 10am, at
five participating Branches. Chesley, Kincardine, Port Elgin, Walkerton and Lucknow
will each run the program. Residents with modest incomes and simple tax returns may
contact the Branch they wish to attend by phone or email to book their appointment
and learn what documents to bring.

Other CVITP clinics can be found by calling 2-1-1.
