Westlock & District Historical Society is a charitable organization based in Westlock, Alberta, 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 $40K in revenue and $54K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
