The Whistle Stop Co-operative Pre-School Inc. is a charitable organization based in Puslinch, Ontario, classified by the CRA under teaching institutions. 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 August 31, 2024, it reported $40K in revenue and $53K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 22% from government.
