Pin It If this is you parents, then find yourself at Malton Community Centre TODAY (October 16th, 2012) for the Canada Learning Bond Registration Day.

Malton Community Building Project, Morning Star Middle School, and the Peel Children and Youth Initiative invite you to the first-ever Enrolled by Six – Community Enrollment Event in Malton.

The Enrolled By Six strategy is led by the Peel Children and Youth Initiative to engage all community organizations to enroll every eligible child in Peel for the Canada Learning Bond (CLB)
The CLB is FREE money provided by the Government of Canada to children born after 2004 and living in families earning less than $42,707 net annually. Eligible children will receive up to $2,000 by the age of 15. No parental contribution is required. 

WHEN: Tuesday, October 16, 2012
WHERE: Malton Community Centre
3540 Morning Star Drive, Mississauga, ON L4T 1Y2

EVENT DETAILS:  Begins at 12:00 p.m.

– At 4:00 p.m. Service Canada representatives will be on-site and available to register your child’s SIN number

From 12:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m .
– Bank representatives will be on-site and available to register your child’s  Canada Learning Bond and Registered Education Saving Plan.

Parents must bring the following documentation to complete registration:
1. Two pieces of Government issued photo ID, i.e., passport, citizenship card, driver’s license, Social Insurance Number (SIN)
2. Your child’s birth certificate
3. Your child’s SIN number (if they have one)

Child minding will be available.

Though we know this is not enough to pay for your child's entire education, what we do know is you need to begin somewhere, and you can continue to contribute to this RESP that will be available to your child when they are ready for college/university. And hey, when the government is giving FREE money away, who will say no??? Because when they want it from you, they get it.
