About Financial Literacy Month

During the month of November, financial services organizations throughout Canada will be participating in Financial Literacy month. Created by the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada, the goal of this initiative is to share information that will help Canadians achieve their financial goals, including managing debt wisely, saving for the future, and understanding their rights and responsibilities.

Throughout November, Canadian organizations combine to educate and engage the public regarding the need for financial literacy and to promote several different services. The overall theme for the month is “Take charge of your finances.”

If you’re interested in learning more about financial literacy, check out the resource tools on our website or listen to our latest podcast. Want to put your knowledge to test?  Check out this 30-day challenge and see if you’re ready to take control of your finances. Once you cross the finish line on November 30, write to us and tell us about your experience. This is your chance to have your story featured on our FAFA podcast, website or social media.
