Congratulations to the six nominees from the Western Region that were recognized with a CRA Award of Excellence yesterday. Their exemplary commitment to serving Canadians earned them the highest honour available to employees of the CRA.

Fraudsters use impersonation tactics to gain trust and steal money or personal information. Look out for call spoofing, odd email addresses or someone posing as friends, family, government or police agencies.

We’ve launched a new Spotlight page on Infozone to recognize our region’s finalists for the CRA Awards of Excellence — the highest honour available to employees of the Canada Revenue Agency. You can find the link to the finalists’ stories on the Western Region Infozone home page.

It was an honour to participate in the @GCWCC_CCMTGC Awards event today. Great to reflect on the impact we have made in the lives of people in our communities.

It was a pleasure to join Commissioner Hamilton this morning at a virtual town hall for employees in our Alberta office.

DYK that during the winter of 1962, Pincher Creek, #Alberta, witnessed a 41-degree change in the timeframe of only an hour, rising from -19C to 22C? This phenomenon was caused by a warm and dry Chinook wind, which means “snow eater”, bringing in heat from the west. ☃️☀️

Last year, Western Region employees took home 11 CRA Awards of Excellence. Nominations for this year's awards close tonight. If you know of an employee or team that exhibited outstanding dedication, innovation, or service in 2021, there's still time to nominate them!

The 2022 Western Region Fitness Challenge -- the ’Australian Land Down Under Tour’ -- begins February 1. Watch for emails from your local office with details about this year’s wellness challenge.

#DYK our phone lines are open longer so you have more time to ask us your tax and benefit questions? Our hours are: Mon-Fri ➡️ 8AM–8PM (local time) Sat ➡️ 9AM–5PM (local time) ow.ly/iBEH50HuZ7E #CdnTax

I’m looking forward to speaking at the YPN Annual General Meeting today.

There are just two days left to nominate your Western Region colleagues for a CRA Award of Excellence. Check your inbox for a message from the regional Recognition Champion, containing all the tools and resources you need to craft a perfect nomination.

It's especially important during the colder winter months that we prioritize activities that support our well-being. Consider taking time each day to get outside or to reach out to a loved one to help support your well-being.
