Hi there,

Communities Ending Poverty is recognizing November's Financial Literacy Month by showcasing some helpful resources from the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada. Read the blog post to learn about financial skill-building and strategies for financial empowerment.

Speaking about skill-building, we are also excited to announce the launch of the Ending Poverty Pathways Online Course, a five-module resource designed to enable intersectoral action towards ending poverty at the community level.

Regardless of where you take your learning about ending poverty this month, we are here to support you!

Featured Resources

Ending Poverty Pathways Online Course

Through this course, you'll be guided through reflective questions and exercises that will help you make the most of the course materials and content. Topics include Ending Working Poverty, Governments and Communities Ending Poverty and Big Ideas for Ending Poverty.
