:“New electronic publication to replace Registered Charities Newsletter
In April 2010, the Charities Directorate will introduce a new electronic publication that will replace the Registered Charities Newsletter. This new publication, called Charities Connection, will be shorter (two to
three pages) and will be posted to the CRA Charities and Giving Web pages about 8 to 12 times a year.

The Registered Charities Newsletter it will be replacing was only published twice a year. When the new Charities Connection is posted to the Charities and Giving Web pages, an email will be sent to notify all subscribers to the Charities and Giving – What’s New electronic mailing list.

Our goal is to provide registered charities with timely, up-to-date information on technical issues, new or enhanced policies, new initiatives, and reminders about important information.
Charities Connection will be published on a trial basis and, if successful, it will permanently replace the current newsletter format. If you have questions or comments on this new publication, please email them to .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address). “
