SUMMARY:The RDSP and DTC Blueprint: Turning Eligibility into Long-term Financial Security
DESCRIPTION:The Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP) is one of the most powerful—and underused—financial programs in Canada. \n\n\n\nOffering up to $90\,000 in government grants and bonds\, the RDSP has the potential to transform long-term financial security for individuals living with disabilities. Yet\, hundreds of thousands of eligible Canadians either don’t have one\, or don’t fully understand how to maximize it. \n\n\n\nIn this webinar\, RDSP Educator Trish Van Sickle and Disability Tax Credit (DTC) Specialist Dr. Wayne McLeod walk you through the full journey\, starting with the RDSP and connecting it back to the Disability Tax Credit that unlocks it. \n\n\n\nTuesday\, May 56:30 – 7:45 p.m.Online via Sinneave Connects \n\n\n\nAttendees will learn: \n\n\n\n\nHow the RDSP works\n\n\n\nWho qualifies\n\n\n\nHow to maximize government grants\, bonds\, and long-term growth\n\n\n\nCommon mistakes families make when opening an RDSP\n\n\n\nKey questions to ask any institution before choosing where to open one\n\n\n\nThe Disability Tax Credit explained\n\n\n\nWhy DTC applications get denied and how to strengthen them.\n\n\n\n\n\nThis session is education-first and designed to empower individuals\, families\, caregivers\, and professionals with clarity\, confidence\, and actionable knowledge. There will be an opportunity to ask questions at the end. \n\n\n\nWhether you are newly approved for the DTC\, considering applying\, or supporting someone who may qualify\, this webinar will help you understand the full opportunity available—and how to make the most of it. Attendees are encouraged to invite a parent\, partner\, or support person if they would like someone close to them to learn alongside them. \n\n\n\nAdvance registration is required. Click on the button that says\, “Sinneave Connects” to register. \n\n\n\nIf you already have a Sinneave Connects account\, log in as usual. If you have not yet created an account\, it’s free and easy to do. Follow the prompts on the log-in page. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSinneave Connects\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIf you have any questions\, or need technical support accessing Sinneave Connects\, reach out to us at info@sinneavefoundation.org or call 403-210-5000. We are here to help. \n\n\n\nAbout the Presenters: \n\n\n\nDr. Wayne McLeod is a dedicated educator and advocate focused on helping Canadians successfully navigate the Disability Tax Credit (DTC). Through years of experience guiding families\, Dr. McLeod understands how overwhelming and confusing the DTC process can be. Many eligible individuals are denied simply due to incomplete applications or unclear medical documentation. His approach centers on education\, clarity\, and ensuring applications are properly positioned to meet CRA requirements. \n\n\n\nAs the author of How to Successfully Apply for the Disability Tax Credit\, Dr. McLeod provides practical\, step-by-step guidance to help individuals\, caregivers\, and professionals confidently navigate the process and access the financial support they deserve. \n\n\n\nHis mission is simple: remove barriers\, increase awareness\, and help families turn DTC approval into long-term financial opportunity. \n\n\n\nTrish Van Sickle is a passionate RDSP educator on a mission to ensure no eligible Canadian misses out on one of the most powerful financial programs in the country: the Registered Disability Savings Plan. \n\n\n\nDespite offering up to $90\,000 in government grants and bonds\, hundreds of thousands of eligible Canadians still do not have an RDSP simply because they don’t understand how it works or where to start. That’s where Trish steps in. \n\n\n\nShe simplifies the complex\, breaks down the rules\, and focuses on education first. Whether families work with her directly or choose another institution\, she equips them with the knowledge\, confidence\, and the right questions to ask so they can properly set up\, manage\, and maximize their RDSP. \n\n\n\nHer mission is bold and clear: raise awareness\, close the education gap\, and connect as many Canadians as possible to the financial security they deserve.
