Fernie Child Care Society is a charitable organization based in Fernie, British Columbia, classified by the CRA under community resource organizations. It appears on the charity register the way hospitals, universities, and other publicly funded bodies do — to issue tax receipts — rather than as a donation-driven charity in the usual sense. In its fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, it reported $828K in revenue and $697K in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 85% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2020, 1 other registered charity reported granting it a combined $170.
