October 17-23 is Canada’s third annual Financial Planning Week and as part of its campaign to get more Canadians engaged in their financial wellbeing, Financial Planning Standards Council hit the streets to hear what Canadians are saying about money.
The resulting video is just a slice of the many comments heard from Canadians of varying ages. And because it’s never too early to start talking to your kids about money, FPSC also spoke with some very young people about their views, too.
“Every day is financial planning day at Financial Planning Standards Council and for the 18,000+ Certified Financial Planner professionals in Canada. But, while many Canadians may have great intentions, they fall into the procrastination trap,” says Tamara Smith, VP marketing & consumer affairs, FPSC. “We are putting a call out to every Canadian: this Financial Planning Week, it’s time to take action — even if in small steps — to do more towards your financial wellbeing.”
Now in its third year, FPSC and the Institut québécois de planification financière have jointly declared October 17-23, 2011 as Canada’s Financial Planning Week. During the Week, each organization will be spearheading industry events and public outreach activities in their respective markets. Stay up-to-date at www.financialplanningweek.ca.
