October is RDSP month so we are using this time to spread awareness by talking to people about their RDSPs.
The Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP) is a Canada-wide registered matched savings plan specific for people with disabilities. It is designed as a long-term savings plan to help the holder be better financially prepared for their future. The best part about it is that, depending on your income, you can receive grants and bonds that the federal government contributes to either match your contributions or provides you if you’re on low-income.

Here is Salina, an Advocate with Disability Alliance BC, who not only helps people apply for the RDSP but has one of her own. Who better to tell us about the RDSP?!
