Education Savings Week 2016 campaign reaches 500,000 Canadians online!

2016 Education Savings Week (ESW), November 20-26, 2016, encouraged all Canadians to get the facts about education savings. Organizations across the country ranging from social service agencies to financial institutions worked together to raise awareness of Federal and Provincial government financial incentives that are available by opening Registered Education Savings Plans (RESPS) for children.
