Charitable Status
As of December 1, 2023, the Westshore Community Concert Band acquired tax-exempt status as a registered charity under the Income Tax Act. This means that we may now offer tax receipts for donations made to support the society's purposes. Our charitable registration number is 82495 3376 RR0001.
Donations made by e-transfer, cash or cheque will be gratefully received. Tax receipts will be issued for amounts of $25 and more. Please ensure that you include your name and contact information for the tax receipt.
Music Donation Program
The band has a program for members and members of the community to assist in increasing the band's library by purchasing music through Tapestry Music Ltd.
A list has been drawn up of desirable pieces, that will be updated from time to time. The list includes the price, in Canadian funds, that was current as of August 2022. If you would like to support the WCCB by purchasing one of these pieces, select one (or two!) from the list and use this Music Donation Form to contact Tapestry Music to order it. When the piece arrives you will pay Tapestry Music for it and Tapestry will deliver the piece to the band. Your name, as donor, will be stamped on the music as a permanent reminder to the band members of your generosity.
Bottle Drive
The WCCB has an account with the Dunford Bottle Depot in Langford. Please consider dropping off your refundable bottles, cartons and cans there for the band's benefit. The band's account number is 630 and it can be used at any Return-It location. Please note that it would be wise to sort the items by type and make note of the numbers before returning them because that will speed up the accounting while you are there. A complete list of returnable products with refund values may be viewed here.
Thrifty Foods Smile Card Program
The members of the band gratefully acknowledge the financial support provided through this program as it existed until June 2021. It enabled us to purchase new uniforms and music, among other things.
