Welcome to A New Parent’s Guide to Money, a pilot program for 2009-2010 developed by students and faculty of the Gerald Schwartz School of Business and Information Systems and the Department of Adult Education at St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, Nova Scotia.

A New Parent’s Guide to Money was developed for new parents in the regions serviced by the Guysborough Antigonish Strait Health Authority. The program is designed to give new parents the tools they need to make better decisions about their money and to take control of their finances for the benefit of their whole family.

This web site is a supplement to the book A New Parent’s Guide to Money. As such, it’s full of tools, resources, forms, contacts and FAQ designed specifically to help new parents like you!

The link on the bottom right corner of the page will give you access to A New Parent’s Guide to Money in  PDF format, which serves as a ready reference for each of the sections as you explore them.

Our website is organized much like your book; five easy steps, which are each broken into sections. To get started, click the buttons on the right and go to the step you wish to explore.

We recommend starting with Step 1: Understanding your Benefits.
