Madeleine Kawapit and Jonathan Kitchen are among hundreds of Cree families and entities that have unclaimed and forgotten money in a Revenu Québec fund, a CBC North Cree unit investigation has found.
More than $15,000, in the case of the Kawapit family, and more than $63,000 belonging to the Kitchen family is sitting in a Revenu Québec fund of more than $400 million in unclaimed money belonging to Quebecers.
It’s called the Register of Unclaimed Property, and it’s where money in forgotten bank accounts, pensions and insurance policies, or the proceeds from the sale of other land or property ends up when no one comes forward to claim it.
