ICBC has worked with teachers and road safety experts to prepare NEW, free of charge learning resources to ensure that B.C. students develop road safety skills and awareness. These educational materials support prescribed learning outcomes as established by the B.C. Ministry of Education for students in Kindergarten through Grade 10. Activities in these guides relate road safety concerns to larger issues such as personal and social responsibility, risk assessment and decision-making. More information available at;

Free Education Money You May Not Know About...
Canada Learning Bond;
You can get up to $2,000 in free education money...REALLY! All you have to do is open a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP). You don't have to put any of your money into the plan to get this money from the Government of Canada. When you open an RESP, the Government will deposit $500 right away and could deposit up to $1,500 more by the time your child is 15. That's up to $2,000 for your child’s education after high school.
Your child can get the Canada Learning Bond if your child was born January 1, 2004 or after AND your family receives the National Child Benefit Supplement (net income is $40,970 or less).
