The postal strike ended on Nov. 15 and continued for a month until Dec. 17 .

The strike was particularly challenging for local non-profits who depend on the holiday season to drive their fundraising and support budget planning for the year ahead .

The federal government announced it will extend the deadline to claim charitable donations on tax returns for 2024 to Feb. 28 , with plans to introduce legislation.

The Mustard Seed has received a number of questions from donors about whether their donations this year will qualify for a 2024 tax credit.

It's hard to say how many of the mailed-in donations are stuck in the strike from last year or recently sent.

Farkas said that he along with other leaders in the non-profit sector have been appealing to politicians to make the extension a priority.
