Valemount Public Library is a charitable organization based in Valemount, British Columbia, 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 $170K in revenue and $202K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 95% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2023, 1 other registered charity reported granting it a combined $147.
