Description

November 18 Ottawa After a twenty-month battle, the CGA won an appeal with Revenue Canada to obtain recognition as a registered charitable organization. Its application for charitable status had been refused in August 1980 after Revenue Canada described it as an organization "formed by a group of individuals primarily for the promotion, advocacy, or performance of a purpose peculiar to them." The CGA appealed the decision, offering letters of support from journalists, government departments, and academics, establishing the benefit of the collection to the entire community.
