Each year, Nipissing First Nation distributes Christmas shares to registered members from the Band Revenue account.
Shares do not accumulate and must be picked up or requested separately each year*. Members who donate their share to a community cause will be provided with a Charitable Tax Receipt upon request.
* With the exception of shares for children in care: these funds will be held “in trust” until the child is 16 years old. (Note: a child in care is any child who is currently not being raised by their birth parents.)
In 2024, Christmas shares were $300 for members 16 and under, and $370 for members aged 17 years and older.
For more information, please refer to the Christmas Distribution Policy.
