Charity revocation notice published in error

Summary#

This is an erratum from the Canada Revenue Agency published on September 3, 2022. It says a previously published notice of intention to revoke a charity’s registration (originally published January 16, 2021) appeared in the Canada Gazette in error because the charity had requested the notice under the Income Tax Act.

What it does#

• Corrects the public record by saying the earlier notice was published in error.
• Names the charity involved: 866418221RR0001 — ST MICHAEL UKRAINIAN CATHOLIC CHURCH OF VENLAW, GILBERT PLAINS, MAN.
• Shows the notice was issued from the Charities Directorate and is signed by Sharmila Khare, Director General.

Who's affected#

• Primarily the named charity, ST MICHAEL UKRAINIAN CATHOLIC CHURCH OF VENLAW.
• People or organizations who saw the earlier Gazette notice and may have relied on it (donors, local community members, tax preparers).
• It is unclear from this item whether the charity’s registration status changed; the erratum only says the prior publication was an error.

Why it matters#

• A revocation notice in the Gazette can affect how donors, tax filers, and the public view a charity’s status. Correcting the record helps avoid confusion.
• If you acted on the earlier notice—e.g., questioned tax receipts or the charity’s standing—you may want to check directly with the Canada Revenue Agency or the charity for current details.
