  "summary": "The Canada Revenue Agency revoked the charitable status of Food Banks of Saskatchewan on Sept. 12, 2026, due to a failure to file an annual return, according to a statement from the agency to Global News. The organization supports 36 food banks across the province.\n\nExecutive director Michael Kincade told Global News that the loss of registration was caused by an accounting firm that failed to submit completed and signed paperwork. Kincade stated that he was told the filing was finished and that he received assurances from the firm that the matter would be handled after receiving a notification from the CRA in February. Kincade maintains that the organization performed all necessary actions and that the error was not an administrative issue on their behalf.",
