Please join us in celebrating Financial Literacy Month in Canada by increasing your own financial literacy!

The Economic Planning Board is pleased to present the first of a 5-part series of 60 minute sessions to provide you with tips and strategies that wealthier Canadians use to manage finances for themselves, their families and their businesses. Adil Chagani, a Wealth Advisor will be sharing some of these strategies, beginning in November with What the Wealthy Do: Income at Every Stage of Life.  Whether you are an employee, self-employed business owner or retiree, having stable income is a critical component of our financial lives.  It can be the difference between living and living well.  Lack of sufficient income is a main contributor to stress and instability in relationships and effective management of income is an important part of a healthy lifestyle.  This session is focused on how to preserve, grow and sustain income over the longer term.
