The Canada Child Benefit Increase and Audit Risk

Families receiving the Canada Child Benefit (CCB) may have noticed an increase in their recent payments. Indexing takes place each July 1. Beginning in July of 2026, the CCB will provide families up to $8,157 per child under the age of 6 and up to $6,883 per child aged 6 to 17. There is audit risk that comes with that, however.

If you’re able to join us in Kelowna on Sunday, November 5, you won’t want to miss our visit to the beautiful and unique Summerhill Pyramid Winery! It’s the largest certified organic vineyard in Canada and was named “Canadian Wine Producer of the Year” in 2009 by the International Wine & Spirits Competition in London, England.

Calling all newcomers, young up-and-comers, career-changers and passionate-for-learning-retirees! Summer is a great time to go back to school and pick up a new skill that will provide you with a new income stream and a new sense of pride.
