Gift of Securities
A gift of securities may be one of the most popular giving options for many individuals, following the Federal government’s May 2, 2006 budget announcement eliminating the Capital Gains tax on appreciated securities gifted to registered charitable organizations like The Country Day School. This means donors will not be taxed on the capital gains accrued on securities such as shares, bonds, mutual fund units and employee stock options when gifted. Donors receive a receipt for the full current value of the publicly traded security on the close of business on the day of transfer. An illustration of this benefit is provided below.

Land Acknowledgment
The Country Day School wishes to recognize and acknowledge the land on which the school operates. Our nearest Indigenous Nations are now the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the Chippewas of Georgina Island. The Dish with One Spoon Wampum covenant is often cited as an example of the shared responsibility for caring for these lands among the Huron-Wendat, Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee peoples who would call these their traditional territories. CDS respects the relationship with these lands and recognizes that our connection to this land can be strengthened by our continued relationship with all First Nations, by acknowledging our shared responsibility to respect and care for the land and waters for future generations.
