Story summary

Speed Skating Canada lost its charitable status on September 26 due to missing its annual tax filing deadline, as published by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) in the Canada Gazette. The organization's CEO, Joe Morissette, claims they submitted their filing on time but it was never received by the CRA. As a result, Speed Skating Canada did not receive any overdue notice and only learned of the revocation when contacted by The Canadian Press. The agency requires organizations to file within six months of their fiscal year-end; if no filing is made, charitable status can be revoked after 90 days if the organization does not respond or object. Speed Skating Canada aims to regain its charitable status in a week or two by refiling and addressing this administrative error.
