Sault Ste. Marie Region Conservation Authority is a charitable organization based in Sault Ste Marie, Ontario, 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 $866K in revenue and $1.2M in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
