The Metis Nation of Ontario (MNO) is pleased to offer the Financial Literacy Program. This program is available to all MNO Citizens with the goal of improving the overall financial literacy and well-being of Metis individuals, families, and the Metis Nation as a whole. There are two streams involved with the Financial Literacy Program.
• Client-based: You have the opportunity to work one-on-one with a Financial Literacy Coordinator to work towards reaching your identified goals. The process begins with an assessment of your specific needs and goals, then all discussions and provided resources are specific to you and your needs. Contact us directly to enroll in this program.
• Community-based: The program also provides generic financial literacy information and materials through workshops, webinars, and resource creation and distribution. Keep an eye out on this webpage for updates.
