Kinesiology now a claimable medical expense


CANADA REVENUE AGENCY (CRA) - KINESIOLOGISTS LISTED AS AUTHORIZED MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS FOR THE PURPOSES OF CLAIMING MEDICAL EXPENSES:

Kinesiologists in Ontario have been added to the list of "Authorized Medical Practitioners by province or territory for the purposes of claiming medical expenses" on the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) website at this link: http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/tx/ndvdls/tpcs/ncm-tx/rtrn/cmpltng/ddctns/lns300-350/330/ampp-eng.html
 
Persons receiving services of a Registered Kinesiologist in Ontario can now claim it as an eligible medical expense paid in 12-month period ending in 2013 and not claimed by you or anyone else.
 
Patients/clients can only claim the part of an expense for which they have not been or will not be reimbursed. However, they can claim the full expense if the reimbursement is included in their income, such as a benefit shown on a T4 slip, and they did not deduct the reimbursement anywhere else on their income tax and benefit return.
 
For more information on the Medical Expense Tax Credit see:  http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/tx/tchncl/ncmtx/fls/s1/f1/s1-f1-c1-eng.html#p1.20
 
Another step in the continuing recognition of the profession, and kinesiologists.

The 2014 Schedule has been updated.

Notable changes by my inspection are a Quebec based UCI Cyclocross Race and also the exclusion of the rumored Canada Cup in Early April roughly slated for Victoria.

Crank the Shield 2014 - 8 Reasons I Signed up .


I was so psyched to hear that Superfly Racing is bringing back the first, the original , the best MTB Stage Race in Ontario, CRANK THE SHIELD


I won the first one, Just sayin'  but even without my (only?) claim to fame I would be back for the awesome adventures that this race offers every single day . The race is so much more then the bike race though as the sponsors and crew do such a great job with the accommodations , transport and meals/festivities.  Anyone who has done the race will agree that it is an amazing 3 day party in Northern Ontario, with some great bike racing thrown in. 

8 Reasons I am going ?

1.       Convenient “lollipop” format as 2012 = no shuttles
2.      Committing to a goal now gives me motivation to train all winter and into September!
3.       Kicking Horse coffee in the morning & beer every night ... Enough said. 
4.       New Singletrack added to day 2 = more skids, flicks and jumping for photographers
5.      Great New Redesigned jerseys/shorts = everyone gets extra day smelling great !
6.       As in 2012,  increased rain resistance through trail work and routing
7.      All athletes compete on same course, at same start in Ontario’s only stage race

8.   10% off Reg. Sale Until December 1st .  Visit Crank Reg. Page
