Money on your Mind. Talk about it.

Financial Literacy Month

Let's talk about Financial Literacy

November is Financial Literacy Month in Canada. As established by the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC), this year’s theme is “Money on your Mind. Talk about it!” with an aim to empower Canadians to discuss the financial matters affecting them with their family and friends. For many, discussions around money are considered a taboo subject. This Financial Literacy Month, we want to help change that! By taking small steps to boost their financial confidence, we want to help our members feel more confident and comfortable discussing, and making choices around, their money.

Check out the links and helpful resources below. From webinars to our insightful podcast "Tandia Talks Money", let's get started on your financial knowledge journey!
