Dark Angel 760k and still delivering | SaltWire #thinkingoutloud #medicalcourier #halifax #carsCHARLOTTETOWN, P.E.I. — The federal government has announced the tax credit for volunteer firefighters and search and rescue volunteers will be doubled in the budget for 2024.

“Volunteer firefighters keep Canadians safe, while putting their own lives at risk. As wildfires and natural disasters grow more severe, these volunteers remain some of the only first responders in their community. The Volunteer Firefighters Tax Credit and the Search and Rescue Volunteers Tax Credit are there to support the service of remarkable Canadians and encourage more people to do this critical, lifesaving work.

He also said that although the incentive had been long overdue, it was a positive one that will make a difference. However, he also stated that the government will continue to receive further requests from the association. “I think it's the recognition of the hard work that volunteers do. They put literally their heart and soul into the community to keep people safe,” he said.
