November is Financial Literacy Month. This year’s theme, take charge of your finances, encourages Canadians to make a budget, have a savings and debt reduction plan, and understand financial rights and responsibilities.
“CPA Canada’s Financial Literacy Program delivers unbiased financial literacy information to the general public with the goal of improving the overall state of financial literacy in Canada,” explains Brigitte Lazarko, CPA, CA, a volunteer in Manitoba.
Nationally, the Financial Literacy Program has over 300 sessions scheduled in the month of November and since it’s inception in 2015 has reached over 200,000 people – from elementary school students to newcomers and entrepreneurs.
“CPA Manitoba is proud of the fact that so far this year, we’ve delivered over 130 Financial Literacy sessions to Manitobans at schools, businesses, not-profit organizations and public venues such as libraries and community centres,” says Geeta Tucker, FCPA, FCMA, President & CEO of CPA Manitoba.
