Credit Education Week Canada

By Susan Jung, MBA

Whether you are a first time or regular visitor to hoyes.com, it probably didn’t take you very long to figure out that there is a LOT of information on this site. So, why is information so important to Hoyes Michalos & Associates? Well, quite simply we firmly believe that information is empowering; the more information you have about the options you have to deal with your money and your debt, the more empowered you will be to make good and informed decisions. There are many resources and events available to Canadians to assist them in making good financial decisions; one such event is Credit Education Week.

Credit Education Week Canada launches its 4th annual weeklong event on November 15, 2010. This is a free event that ?promises to teach you everything you need to know about managing your money and taking control of your financial future?. The Language of Money is this year?s theme, and will provide visitors with information on a variety of topics such as ?Consumer Credit Pitfalls? and ?Helping Consumers make informed financial decisions?.

Many of this year?s topics are very timely for Canadians. This week, for example, the Canadian Association of Accredited Mortgage Professionals released its finding that outstanding mortgages are at an all time high, indicating that many Canadians are making the decision to purchase a home. Credit Education Week Canada addresses the topic of ?Making Informed Homeownership Decision? at their November 16 kickoff event. So, if you are thinking about buying a home, this may be a great event to attend.

Navigating our financial system can be difficult for anyone, but can be particularly difficult for newcomers to Canada. Credit Education Week Canada 2010 focuses this year on New Comers and features speakers who will provide information about the supports available to our new Canadians.

We invite you to visit the Credit Education Week Canada website ? here you will find details of the event, a directory of resources including a list of non-profit credit counselors, along with lots of tools and information on a variety of money management and planning topics.

Whether you are a newcomer to Canada or have lived here forever, we encourage you to take this opportunity to educate and empower yourself. Hoyes Michalos & Associates is here to help ? if you have questions, feel free to give us a call at 310-PLAN, or complete our free on-line evaluation, and let’s get started.
