Hi, I am Bella & Alex.

Let's find out some of the benefits of low income.
[10]
We just came last year and didn't have a lot of income.
[22]
You are considered as a low income when your income is lower than $25000 per person.
[31]
However, if you work full time in Alberta, because of high minimum wage($15), you will not be able to get low income.
[42]
But if you do have a family of four persons, and getting minimum wage,
[49]
and if you work part-time, you could be qualified as a low income.
[60]
You will get Notice of Assessment once you file a tax return.
[75]
Then you get to apply for the low-income benefit program called "Fair Entry"
[90]
You can apply by fax, online, mail, and in person. and get approval on the same day.
[123]
One of the biggest benefits of low-income is that you get more child benefit.
[147]
The second useful benefit is the transit pass.
[156]
you can get the monthly transit pass as low as $5.
[178]
You can buy the pass online or in-person.
[192]
The next benefit is called recreation fee assistance.
[200]
You can use the Calgary recreation centre or YMCA at a reduced rate.
[208]
you can attend any Calgary Recreation leisure centre or aquatics centre
[213]
to receive your Calgary Recreation Fee Assistance Card and begin using it right away.
[218]
You need a Fair Entry approval letter in order to get the card.
[241]
We are using YMCA for $20 per adult.
[258]
You also can use the card at many other locations such as Calgary Zoo, Heritage Park...
[266]
and kids camp, afterschool activities, and YMCA programs at a low price.
[314]
