Overview
Canada’s Task Force on Financial Literacy noted that improving financial literacy was a shared responsibility, that it would be a lifelong process, and that it was important for financial education to be provided in our public schools. Any day could be “Talk With Our Kids About Money Day” but we are focusing on one day a year to “get conversations started” and bring attention to the importance of talking with our kids about money – starting at a young age.
