Blue Piggy Bank WIth Coins

Today, parents are encouraged to have “the talk” with children of any age and teachers are encouraged to incorporate money matters into their curriculums for Grade Seven students.

BMO’s Talk With Our Kids About Money Day was launched two years ago in Toronto and Montreal. Since then, the program has expanded across Ontario, Quebec, and the Prairies, with more than 2000 schools expected to participate across Canada. Today – April 15 – it will also take place across Alberta and Atlantic Canada. For more information, click HERE
