RESP

Give your child's education fund a boost.

The Registered Education Savings Plan, or RESP, can help you save for your child or grandchild’s education. You can put a wide variety of investments into an RESP, without paying taxes on the interest earned. Plus, the federal government will help boost your contributions with a grant - they'll match 20% of your first $2,500 in contributions every year. Talk to your local branch about opening an account today.
