Consultations Ongoing With Federal Task Force on Financial Literacy

The Federal Task Force on Financial Literacy has been travelling across Canada holding consultations with Canadians on the issues that matter most to them with respect to literacy issues and financial matters.  For those that missed the public sessions, comments are still welcome on their website at www.financialliteracyincanada.com.
 
The Task Force was formed to make recommendations to the Minister of Finance on a cohesive national strategy on financial literacy and they have a website with more information on the work they do and what they hope to accomplish.  The Task Force travels East next.  See the full list of public consultations by clicking here.
 
The objective is to recommend ways to improve financial literacy so Canadians are better able to make sound financial decisions in a world that is fast moving and very complex.
 
Evelyn Jacks, the founder and President of The Knowledge Bureau, is a member of the Task Force.

Interested subscribers to the Knowledge Bureau Report may wish to follow the work of the Task Force. Stay tuned for more details on the consultations as the Task Force continues its way across Canada.
