Community Success Story
Several months ago, I wrote in these pages to inform you about a new initiative to grant govern-ment subsidies – free of charge – to Canadian children. The Canada Learning Bond is available to children born since 2004, whose family income is $42,000 or less. In the first year, the Canadian government places $500 into the child’s RESP; it then contributes $100 annually until age 15. The funds are to be used exclusively for post-secondary education. By the time a child reaches that point in life, the RESP will have accumulated over $2,000 – and even more if the family is able to add their own contributions.
