The ABC's of Saving and Investing for you and your family

We all have significant purchases we want to make in the future; car, house, education for children and so forth, but how can you enjoy life today but at the same time save effectively for the future?

You will learn how to maximize savings programs such as registered retirement savings plans (RRSPs), tax-free savings accounts (TFSAs), registered disability savings plans (RDSPs) and registered education savings plans (RESPs) for children and more.

At the end of this session, you will have a better understanding about investments so that you can make the right choices for you and your family.
