A FUN AND VIRTUAL WAY TO EXPLORE THE WORLD OF MONEY – AND WIN A PRIZE! The Canadian Foundation for Economic Education has introduced “Talk With Our Kids About Money Day” across Canada and it is intended to “get the conversations started” by helping young people learn more about money and personal finances. It’s a fun and interactive program for kids, parents, and teachers that takes the stress out of “Having the Talk.” This year we have a contest for students ages 8 -14 called the Virtual Money Fair Contest. Virtual Money Fair involves students, either learning at home or in the classroom, selecting a money topic that is of interest to them, undertaking research to explore and learn about that topic, and then preparing a creative and engaging video presentation that showcases the outcome of their research and what they learned. We will be getting submissions from across the entire country, posting them on the secure CFEE website and then highlighting the winner announced at the National Money Fair on May 16th. Final Date for Submission: May 4,2022, 11:59pm EST Prizes: $2000 for first prize, $1000 for second prize, $500 for third prize |
