Financial Literacy Month

Financial Literacy Month is a critical initiative that focuses on an important skill set that can be learned at any age, from young children to seniors. Everyday we are confronted with financial literacy moments where we have to make decisions about how we spend our money whether we are grocery shopping, paying bills, buying necessities, or shopping for things we want. Financial literacy is so important that we celebrate Financial Literacy Month (FLM) every November with games, money tips, online courses, and money challenges, all of which are free.

Financial Literacy Month Canada

The Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC) started Financial Literacy Month in Canada to help strengthen Canadians’ financial literacy. Every November, the FCAC and financial organizations throughout Canada, such as Money Mentors, work together to encourage Canadians to learn more about their finances.
