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.
