Many families we work with ask the same question: Are we saving enough for our child's education?
Education costs continue to rise, which is why starting early and contributing consistently can make a meaningful difference over time. A Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) is one of the most effective ways for Canadian families to save for post-secondary education.
RESP benefits include:
- Government grants that add to your education savings
- Tax-deferred growth on investments
- Flexible investment options that can evolve as your child grows
We work with families to build education savings strategies aligned with their long-term financial goals.
If you'd like to review an existing RESP or start planning for your child's education, let's connect.

Market changes are something we talk about with clients all the time – especially as the year comes to close.
For many people, year-end is a good opportunity to step back and do a year-end investment review:
- Look at how your investment mix is actually performing.
- Confirm your investment strategy still aligns with your long-term financial goals.
- Identify tax-efficient planning opportunities before the year ends.
At True North Financial, the focus isn’t on reacting to market noise, but on making sure your financial plan continues to support where you’re headed – into 2026 and beyond.
