Youth Financial Awareness
Untitled
Debtor education is not part of the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy's regulatory mandate but it is one of our core values. We continue to seek innovative ways to educate people about the pitfalls of debt.
The OSB has begun developing financial education tools for teachers, parents, babysitters and others, to use with children. These include:
- a Financial Guide for Post-Secondary Students which includes sections on managing money, savings and investments, income tax, types of credit, bank accounts and services, tips on how to save, searching for student employment, fraud, etc.
- a cartoon booklet designed by young volunteers containing 5 strips, each with a financial lesson followed by a questions that can be asked of the young readers.
- a game board designed by young volunteers geared for 7 to 10 year olds covering areas like advertising, making financial decisions, etc.
