Financial Literacy Presentation
Lakehead University is offering Financial Literacy Programming Presentations to elementary, senior elementary and high school students in Grade 6, Grade 8 and Grade 10. The presentation highlights the importance of math, money management, decision-making & budgeting as essential steps in planning, saving and succeeding in reaching financial goals.
The program has been temporarily paused to allow for revisions that reflect the upcoming changes to the Ontario Education curriculum. We look forward to relaunching in Fall 2026.
