Financial Literacy Month 2016 – Managing money and debt wisely: It pays to know!

November is Financial Literacy Month (FLM). This year’s FLM theme “Managing money and debt wisely: It pays to know!” promotes the idea that different stages of life demand different sets of financial literacy skills, and managing money and debt will help in making responsible financial decisions.

​​Throughout November, organizations and individuals from across the country are invited to participate in events aimed to help Canadians learn how to manage their personal finances successfu​lly. Join the conversation on social media using the hashtags #FLM2016 and #ItPaysToKnow to raise awareness about the importance of financial literacy. A complete list of events and res​ources offered by financial education providers is available in the Canadian Financial Literacy Database​.​
