COVID-19: Here to help

At Assante, the well-being of our valued clients and employees is of the deepest concern to us. We want you to know that your safety will remain our top priority as this situation continues to evolve.
Helping you stay protected.

What about taxes?
While the CRA has not officially extended their tax filing deadline, your health remains our priority. If Lorraine files your taxes, please delay dropping off applicable tax documents until April 1. She will ensure that it will still be completed prior to the deadline. If you have already dropped off your package, she will process and advise accordingly.
We understand this is an uncertain time for everyone and we are here to continue to support you, whatever your needs may be.
Take care,
