Lakeland Interpretive Society is a charitable organization based in Lac la Biche, Alberta, classified by the CRA under public amenities. 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 $216K in revenue and $250K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 81% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2023, 1 other registered charity reported granting it a combined $2,000.
Its highest-paid positions fell in the $40,000–79,999 range (3 positions in that band). The charity reported 4 permanent full-time positions.
