Happy Friday from Brenda Miller Family Wealth!

As September begins, students return to school while families adjust their routines. This back-to-school season is also a perfect time to invest in your children's or grandchildren's future through a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP). RESPs offer tax-deferred growth and the Canada Education Savings Grant (CESG), which provides up to $500 if you contribute $2,500 annually and accelerates savings. With education costs rising, contributing to a RESP now can help build a foundation for post-secondary education without the burden of student debt.
