Interested in learning more about what we've got planned? Check out our national press release, or read on!

With the rising cost of food, housing and other expenses of basic living as top of mind for advisors and their clients, Advocis held a poll of more than 200 member advisors to better understand the top financial concerns of Canadians.

We've created shareable infographics for Advocis Members to share across all social media networks, email newsletters and other relevant channels!

Released 1-2 times per week during each week of November, our member and guest expert articles will offer insights to consumers on a variety of topics related to financial literacy.

With articles for each of our weekly subthemes, we look forward to bringing you great resources that you can both enjoy and share with your clients.

All articles will be posted on Financial Advice For All.
 

Our Instagram presence has been growing at Advocis, and we are continuing on with a ramped-up schedule of member interviews on Instagram Live!

In our weekly episodes on Wednesday afternoons, members of Advocis will join us LIVE to talk about and offer consumer tips on each of our weekly subthemes.

To watch the show, make sure you're following us on Instagram and have notifications turned on for Advocis on your mobile Instagram app - you'll get pinged the moment we go LIVE!

An archive of the episodes will also be posted on Financial Advice For All.
 

Join us for our first-ever Twitter Chat on November 16 at 2:00 p.m. EST for Financial Literacy Month 2022! We look forward to kickstarting an insightful and informative conversation with our members on how advisors can work towards building greater financial literacy for their clientele. 

Advocis will moderate the discussion and push the conversation forward on Twitter using the questions posted on our dedicated webpage. Use and follow the hashtag #AdvocisFLM22Chat on November 16 to participate and follow along in the conversation! 
 

To provide members with an asset for Financial Literacy Month that we hope can help you engage the families within your practice or schools that you're asked to speak in, we have created the Junior Financial Advisor (jFA) Fin Lit Kit Teen Kit, as well as a relaunch of the existing Junior Financial Advisor (jFA) Fin Lit Kit for kids. 

Available to you digitally in a variety of formats to print or email as you would like, the kits feature activities and tips for kids and teens, related to financial literacy, as well as an accompanying discussion guide for parents, guardians, teachers, and members of Advocis with questions that can help guide conversations as you move through the book.

Both kits are available for download on Financial Advice For All.

Roblox is a massively-popular online platform where users can create their own games and experiences. It is played by hundreds of millions of kids (primarily ages 7 - 13) across Canada and around the world, making it an invaluable place to engage a younger audience on financial literacy.

To make this happen, we have created The jFA Financial Literacy Quiz Obby - a free, publicly-available game for kids with a financial literacy quiz alongside a challenging obstacle course.

Features include warp gates for younger kids (or parents who aren't as good at these games as they used to be!) as well as the ability to earn an in-game Roblox badge for making it all the way to the top!

We hope that both the new and existing resources on Financial Advice For All will be a valuable asset to you and your practice as you continue to work with your clients to engage them on the vital issue of financial literacy.
