‘Rural supplement’

Dear Editor:

This letter pertains to anyone living in a rural location but has their mail delivered by a Toronto CMA post office. The Canada Carbon Rebate has an additional supplement for rural residents living outside of the Toronto CMA. This year, our government is checking postal codes to identify location. 

If you live outside of the Toronto CMA but have a postal code that “straddles” a CMA location, you will be denied the supplement. For example, Erin residents with a postal code of L7J or L7G will not receive the rural CCR funds.

If you agree this is unfair, contact the CRA (or your MP) to have your rural supplement re-instated.

Renata Georgeff,
Erin
