Administered through a program with the Canada Revenue Agency, these community tax clinics are run by students in Fleming’s Accounting program and are supervised by their program instructors. The clinics provide an enriching, real-world experience for students while offering a valuable service to the community.

Clinics take place each Thursday from March 9 to 30 at the Kawartha Trades and Technology Centre, running from noon to 4 p.m.
