Financial Literacy Week Website Coming SoonABC Life Literacy Canada

THE LEARNING EXCHANGEPage 3

ABC Life Literacy Canada will soon unveil a new Financial Literacy Week website com-plete with math and money management tools and an interactive tips page where Cana-dians can share their winning formulas for handling personal finance matters.

The interactive website brings Canadians into the financial literacy discussion encour-aging them to share their insights, review video posts from Gail Vaz-Oxlade and others

as well as watch our online photo gallery grow as Canadians take their promise to seehow one small change can add up.

An important part of the site will be the I promise page where Canadians select the small steps they will

take to help improve their knowledge and comfort with math and finances helping themmeet their financial goals. As Canadians submit their promises, an email will be sent withspecific tip sheets and tools to help accomplish the desired goal.
