Financial Literacy Month
Financial Literacy Month (FLM) 2012 was a great success!
The second consecutive Financial Literacy Month brought nearly 60 organizations from across the country to join FCAC in organizing almost 275 events and activities to promote financial education.
FCAC wants to thank all FLM 2012 participants—both organizations who held events and members of the public who attended them—for their hard work and commitment to financial literacy.
FCAC is now working hard to prepare FLM 2013!
FLM Video Contest
FCAC also thanks the 38 participants who sent us their videos on the theme "How I am saving for..."! The videos received over 9,000 views on FCAC's Youtube channel.
Our jury had the difficult task of choosing eight finalists from the submitted videos. A second jury selected the top three winners from the finalists based on creativity, production quality and messaging.
Congratulations to our winners:
- 1st place: Claire Sandercock, a 14-year-old from Edmonton, Alberta, has won a 13" MacBook Pro.
- 2nd place: Sameer Pannu a 16-year-old from Brampton, Ontario, has won a 16-GB iPad with Wi-Fi and a $50 iTunes gift card.
- 3rd place: Lankesh Patel, a 17-year-old from Brampton, Ontario, has won an 8-GB iPod Touch.
- Honourable mention: Isaac Mailach, a 16-year-old from Thornhill, Ontario.
