As Canadian parents, we have big dreams for our kids to follow in the footsteps (skate steps?) of most Canadians before them. Maybe just maybe you are the parent of the next Wayne Gretzky or Sidney Crosby, but you never know unless you invest all your money, time and give up your weekends for out of town tournaments.

Or you can sleep in because 5 AM practice is not for everyone, am I right?

Extracurricular activities can really add up in costs, especially if you have big dreams of going pro. You may even need to get a second (or third) job.

Or you can put the money towards your child’s education by opening an RESP today and make all of their dreams for the future come true. An education is the best way to ensure your child’s future success , so get started early. We’re here to help.

#LetsTalkRESPs Twitter Party

We’re throwing a party! A virtual party. On Twitter. We’re gonna chat about your child’s future and extracurricular activities—like hockey—but also how to save for your child’s education. Canadian Scholarship Trust Foundation (CST) Vice-President, Peter Lewis will be on hand to answer any RESP questions you may have. We’re going to be giving away $100 for each question, plus more chances to win for RT’s and participation. New to Twitter parties? No problem, we made this blog for you!
