The Governing Council of the Salvation Army in Canada/conseil de Direction de l'Armée du Salut du Canada is a charitable organization based in Montreal, Quebec, classified by the CRA under supportive health care. 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 March 31, 2024, it reported $1.9M in revenue and $2.3M in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.

Compared with 717 health institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 67% of peers. Its reserves, measured in years of spending on hand, sat in the top decile of the group. Its highest-paid position fell in the $80,000–119,999 range.
