The Friends of Mount Revelstoke & Glacier are holding their final blow-out, everything-must-go sale at Farwell Centre on Saturday from 9 am until 5 pm.
The troubled organization is liquidating all of its assets in order to meet pay unpaid payroll taxes.
The Friends’ board learned in November that payroll taxes and not been paid for almost three years. There were other regularities, as well, that left the board holding the bag for almost $250,000 in debts.
The Canada Revenue Agency froze the Friends’ bank accounts and has taken every dime that has dribbled in over the last six months.
If you’d like some very cheap memorabilia in the form of posters, paintings, pins, mugs, postcards or other things please come down… but you had better brings cash or your chequebook. Credit and debit cards may not be used.
