The Connecting Families initiative
What is the Connecting Families initiative?
This Government of Canada initiative will provide selected eligible families and seniors an opportunity to get low-cost Internet to ensure that more Canadian families and youth have access to the valuable resources available online.
The Connecting Families initiative will run until March 2027
Who is eligible?
A random selection of families who currently receive the maximum Child Care Benefit (CCB) and a random selection of low income seniors who receive the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS), will receive a printed letter in the mail with an access code (PIN number) from the Government of Canada. Only those families who receive this letter are eligible.
