Financial Literacy Month

November is National Financial Literacy Month (FLM). During the month of November each year, Human Resources Services supports an educational initiative focused on strengthening the financial literacy of faculty and staff which empowers them to:

  • manage money and debt wisely while saving for the future
  • reduce their financial stress; and
  • understand their financial rights and responsibilities.

2025 marks the 15th anniversary of Financial Literacy Month (FLM) in Canada!

About this year's campaign

“Talk Money”

The 2025 “Talk Money” campaign encourages Canadians to break the silence around personal finances. By normalizing conversations about money, whether it’s budgeting, debt, or financial stress, we can help reduce stigma, empower individuals to take small, confident steps, and foster better financial outcomes. Talking openly helps build financial resilience, and this November, we’re creating more opportunities for those important conversations to happen – at home, online, and across communities.
