Ulnooweg Education Centre is a charitable organization based in Millbrook, Nova Scotia, classified by the CRA under support of schools and education. 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 $2M in revenue and $2.9M in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
