Appointments will be taken starting Tuesday, Feb. 18 for a free income-tax preparation program in Abbotsford for low-income people.

Last year, volunteers completed almost 2,000 returns.

The program will start taking appointments Tuesday, Feb. 18, and spots will be available Monday to Friday, starting March 2, from 9 a.m. to noon and 1 to 4 p.m.
