Henvey Inlet First Nation Responds to Charity Revocation

Wayne McQuabbie, Chief of Henvey Inlet First Nation, said today that his community is “pleased and relieved” that Canada Revenue Agency has revoked the charitable status of the Henvey Inlet First Nation Community Support Organization (HIFNCSO). “We think this revocation is going to help us in our lawsuit against that organization,” he added.

Chief McQuabbie indicated Canada Revenue Agency had provided the First Nation with a report on HIFNCSO’s operations last year. “Some of the information revealed in the CRA audit absolutely astounded us. The audit report alleges the charity maintained secret bank accounts, and it appears millions of dollars in so-called “donations” were funneled through those accounts and cannot be accounted for,” he said. “Our First Nation was kept in the dark about the workings of the organization, which was actually run out of Winnipeg, not here.”
