About Single Seniors for Tax Fairness (SSTF)
Single Seniors for Tax Fairness (SSTF) is a nationwide movement devoted to lobbying for revisions to the Income Tax Act to provide fairness and equity for single seniors, including lifetime single, widowed, divorced or separated seniors aged 65 plus.
SSTF was formed approximately 4 years ago. Since then, the organization has grown to over 850 supporters. The organization is run entirely by volunteers. Since its inception, the organization has met with over 130 Federal MPs from all parties, had 8 petitions read in the House of Commons by Members from 4 parties, and submitted several recommendations to the Federal Finance Committee.
