There are new ways you can get connected with help to set up your RDSP and Disability Tax Credit!

Dear Community Partner,

Please see attached a community update about a new program at DABC to help people with the Disability Tax Credit (DTC) and the RDSP. We’re working with Plan Institute and BC Aboriginal Network on Disability Society to help people open an RDSP.

Best regards, Jane Dyson
