"Understanding RRSP's, Tax Free Savings Accounts and Tax on Investments". 

The Valley East Library (4100 Elmview Drive, Hanmer)  in partnership with Integra Wealth Builders will be hosting an information session on "Understanding RRSP's, Tax Free Savings Accounts and Tax on Investments".  The session will be facilitated by Jean-François Démoré, Certified Financial Planner, on Tuesday, April 30 @ 6:00 pm.

Over 90 of Canadians are not using RRSP's properly.  RRSP's and tax free savings accounts provide investors with the opportunity to shelter some of that tax, but RRSP's come at a very high cost.  How do these types of accounts work and who are they suitable for to make sure you are not wasting your hard earned dollars.

Registrations available online www.sudburylibraries.  Donations of non-perishable food items will be accepted in support of community food banks.

On Friday, September 14, students, parents and staff at Sudbury’s École catholique Félix-Ricard will celebrate the 32nd anniversary of Terry Fox’s Marathon of Hope. The school will celebrate Terry Fox Day in an effort to illustrate that youths have the capacity to make a difference in the world and to help others. Terry Fox’s legacy, started in 1980 when this young man launched his Marathon of Hope to raise funds for cancer research, is especially important as Félix-Ricard students and staff are dedicating this year’s walk to a fellow student suffering from leukemia.

The Greater Sudbury Public Library needs volunteers, who speak both English and French, for its yearly Battle of the Books competition. 

The Battle consists of students in grades 4-6 reading a list of books between September -May then gathering to see who knows more about the books. For each right answer, teams are given points; and at the end of the night, the team/school with the most points wins our coveted Battle of the Books trophy (donated by Chapters).

As volunteers, you'll sit at a table with one team and simply mark the answers right or wrong. The answers will be given to you ahead of time, and a brief training session will occur on site before the Battle begins.    

If you are interested in volunteering your time, please call Monique Roy, Children's Librarian, at 705-673-1155 ext.4778. 

The details:

French Battle: May 23 @ 6:30 in the Palladium Room of the Radisson Hotel (St. Anne Road)

English Battle: May 30 @ 6:30 in the Palladium Room of the Radisson Hotel (St. Anne Road)
