If you have children under the age 18, you should have received a letter from the Government of Canada about the Canada Learning Bond (CLB). The government provides incentives of up to $2,000 to help families start saving early for their children's education after high school.
The CLB money is deposited directly into your child's RESP account at the financial institution of your choice. Children born in 2004 or later get an initial $500 for the first year, plus $100 for each additional year of eligibility up to age 15. Youths turning 18 this year can still open an RESP account now to receive $500 CLB. Personal contributions are not required to receive the CLB.
Literacy Haida Gwaii and Vancouver Island University and our community partners Haida Gwaii CCRR and Northern Savings Credit Union will host a few information sessions for families. Come join us and learn how to set up accounts for your children. Light supper will be provided at each session, and door prizes are available for the lucky virtual or in-person attendees.
If parents want to attend the in-person session and need childcare, we can also subsidize $10 towards your cost. If you cannot join us in person, register for a Zoom invite and learn from home.
