Have you ever heard of SmartSAVER?
SmartSAVER, is a program launched over 10 years ago by the Omega Foundation. The purpose of the program is to help eligible Canadian families save for their children’s post-secondary education.
They have helped families by increasing participation in the Canada Learning Bond (CLB) and providing tools to help parents.
Visit the Tools for Families resources for a cool downloadable infographic showing the benefits of saving for post-secondary school.

Their RESP calculator helps you see how RESP savings can add up and help with your child’s education goals.
In 2019 SmartSAVER added a tool called MySmartFuture. It allows you to start your application for the Canada Learning Bond online and takes only 20 minutes per application!
