The City Financial Life Skills Webconference
To support Canadian secondary school teachers in their use of The City Financial Life Skills Resource, the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada, in partnership with Curriculum Services Canada, is offering a series of free web conferences. Through meaningful dialogue with an expert facilitator and colleagues from provincial, territorial and regional clusters, teachers will engage in discussion and activities that will help guide their utilization of this resource in their own classrooms.
The City financial life skills resource has received the 'Seal of Quality' from Curriculum Services Canada; CSC (English) and Le Centre canadien de leadership en évaluation; Le CLÉ (French).
The City is a joint initiative of the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada and the British Columbia Securities Commission.
