Junior Fellows Professional Program Pillar 5: Finance 101 with Ellen Roseman

Inflation and interest rates are rising. And there’s a threat of an economic slowdown in Canada because of supply chain disruptions and Russia’s punitive war in Ukraine. 

So, why not invest some time to get a better handle on your money? In a two-hour workshop on Tuesday, Nov. 1, journalist, author and instructor Ellen Roseman will help you find ways to reduce expenses and save for an uncertain future.  

Topics include managing your cost of living, using credit wisely, comparing bank accounts, saving on income taxes, navigating the gig economy, fighting fraud and saving for retirement. 

Participation in this seminar achieves the requirements for Pillar 5 in the Junior Fellows Professional Program: Develop self-awareness and well-being.
