72. Project Management Toolkit: A Guide for Regional Literacy Networks in Ontario (2009)
Authors: Literacy Network of Durham Region (LiNDR)
The authors of this document have taken the theory of project management and broken it down into a step-by-step guide to delivering a literacy project in Ontario.
The authors have divided the toolkit into sections that explain how to describe a project; project governance; the lifecycle of a project; managing a project; and how to ensure that the project meets its goals. They have included charts and checklists to illustrate the points made.
The authors note that the toolkit focuses more on the steps that must be taken rather than on how those steps should be taken, and encourage users to take a basic course in project management to enhance their skills.
While the authors are writing specifically for Ontario’s literacy networks, the information contained in the toolkit can be applied in many settings.

This short animated video explains the workings of a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP), a savings plan that allows individual Canadians to defer paying tax on money to be used for retirement.
Money contributed to an RRSP reduces a person’s taxable income and, in turn, reduces the amount of income tax payable. RRSP funds are taxable once they are withdrawn in retirement, when the individual’s income and tax rate are lower.
Canada’s income tax legislation stipulates the maximum annual contribution, the timing of contributions, and the eventual conversion of the savings to an income fund in retirement.
The video explains that the assets in an RRSP can be held in a variety of forms, including guaranteed income certificates (GICs), bonds, stocks, and mutual funds.

Series: Video tutorials – Credit Canada
Authors: Neil McArtney
In this video, the focus is on the importance of saving for the future. The host introduces the concept of paying yourself first, which means putting money into a savings account regularly, just as you would pay a bill.
Even when money is tight, there are ways to cut expenses and save money instead. For example, buying a takeout lunch might cost about $10 a day. Bringing lunch from home could lead to a saving of $2,500 a year.
The host discusses reasons why people need to save, including to buy things they want, like a house or a car; to be prepared for unexpected expenses; or to cushion the blow of a job loss.
In addition, she explains the importance of saving for retirement, using examples to show that starting early can pay big dividends.
This video tutorial is part of a series prepared for Credit Education Week Canada (CEWC), held annually to promote sound personal money management. For more information, click here: http://www.cewc.ca.
