In this session we’ll go over some of the key differences between an RSP and a TFSA as well as the benefits of each. We’ll talk about which type of registered investment will help you maximize your savings and ultimately reach your goals that much sooner. Everyone’s individual circumstances make the “right” plan a little different. Being better informed will allow you to build a plan that’s right for YOU. Presenters: Advisors from RBC and their community partners

Join a U of G sous chef and a baker at Creelman Hall for an exclusive tour of the food processing room and the bakeshop. Did you know U of G creates their own smoked roma tomato jam, zucchini relish, apple butter, pickles and more?!  The produce facility provides a hub for chefs to process fresh fruits and vegetables during harvest season to be used in the winter.  The bake shop allows our campus community to enjoy fresh hand-made baked goods with locally grown ingredients, Ontario dairy and fairtrade baking products.  

Every parent wants their child to be happy and successful at school. Many working parents struggle with knowing how to support their children with school-related activities. This session invites participants to seek a partnership between each child, the school and themselves as parents. This partnership creates positive structure at home to support their children's experience at school and looks for ways to reward effort rather than outcomes. Facilitator: Homewood Health
