Child Benefit Program Helping Local Families

It appears most families are taking advantage of a child benefit program offered up by the federal government.

Figures released by Revenue Canada show over 82-hundred families in the Thunder Bay-Rainy River riding received a combined $56-million during the 2017-18 tax year.

About a third of that money went to families with two children.

The federal government increased the benefit in July.
