#EveryChildAnRESP has launched!

Over 1.5 million Canadian children are missing out on the opportunity to kick-start their education savings with free money from the govDisplaying ernment. We’ve enlisted the support of some of Canada’s favourite bloggers to help us raise awareness about the Canada Learning
Bond, so more eligible kids can get up to $2,000 into an RESP account.

For the 2016 back-to-school season, we invited 13 bloggers to each write a blog post that delivers their unique take on a few key themes including ‘how to inspire kids to think about career plans and future education goals’ and ‘things to do for free with your kids’. Their perspectives may differ, but what they all share is the rallying cry #EveryChildAnRESP, designed to inspire all Canadian families to open no-cost RESPs for their children and collect the government grants to which they are entitled.

Here are three of the posts that have already been shared online:
