The Jr. Economic Club of Canada was created to inspire Canadian youth to become financially literate. We believe that young people across our nation need to understand the basics of finance and personal money management. The global financial crisis has impacted financial intuitions, businesses and families all over the world. It is more important than ever, that we educate our next generation of leaders to become financially literate. Our programming is about empowering young people to be the best they can be. We know that understanding the basics of personal money management is a crucial component to a prosperous and healthy life.
