New Program Off Up To $2000 To Famillies For Education

A federal program that helps famillies who don't have a lot of cash save for their kids education is looking for parents to sign up.
Wendy MacDermott of Vibrant Communities Saint John tells CHSJ News the program is part of the RESP program and aims to help famillies that make less than $41,000 and with children born after January 1st, 2004.

MacDermott says famillies can earn up to $2000 for their children's post-secondary education.

Service Canada and five different banks will be set up on Saturday at the Boys and Girls Club for parents who are willing to sign up.

Transportation is being provided by the Main Street Baptist Church bus.    
To get a seat on the bus, call Juanita at 647-4850.
