As such we will be hosting a workshop to help answer some of your questions.

How can I create a financial plan for my future? Should I start now or wait until I’m done school?  Should I buy a home or continue to rent? Where is the market heading? Should I invest in an RRSP or a TFSA?

Please RSVP if you are able to join us for this workshop

When? Tuesday September 10th from 12:15pm – 1:45pm

Where? HA 132
