Revocation Notice Withdrawn for Aldergrove Church

Summary#

An erratum from the Canada Revenue Agency says a previously published notice about revoking a charity’s registration was printed by mistake. The earlier notice (published on January 14, 2023) named the charity CANADIAN REFORMED CHURCH OF ALDERGROVE (138153473RR0001); this correction appeared on February 4, 2023.

What it does#

• Withdraws or corrects a Gazette entry that announced an intention to revoke a charity’s registration.
• Explains the earlier notice was published in error because the charity had requested revocation under the Income Tax Act.
• Is signed by Sharmila Khare, Director General, Charities Directorate.

Who's affected#

• The named charity: CANADIAN REFORMED CHURCH OF ALDERGROVE (138153473RR0001).
• Donors, members, or organizations checking the charity’s registration status who saw the original January 14, 2023 notice.
• Anyone relying on the Gazette entry for decisions about donations or tax receipts.

Why it matters#

• A published revocation can signal that a charity has lost its registered status, which affects tax receipts and public trust.
• This correction means the earlier notice should not be treated as a valid revocation.
• If you acted or decided based on the original notice (for example, donations or relying on receipts), you may want to check the charity’s current registration status with the Charities Directorate.
