Over the summer, you likely relax as markets slow and your clients take vacations.

But remember: as of July 20, 2016, families will start receiving the new Canada Child Benefit (CCB). It will be issued monthly and replaces the Canada Child Tax Benefit, including the National Child Benefit Supplement and the Universal Child Care Benefit.

Use this benefits payment calendar to help clients save and invest, and share the following facts and articles about the CCB.
