EBO

Marie-Claude and Mario shared with me an impressive digital and paper collection of resources covering 16 topics of finance for 16-25 year olds called' Personal Finance: I'm in Charge'. Topics included: Budgeting, Credit, Consumer goods, Buying and Saving, Debt, Food, Transportation, Housing, Consumer protection, Phones, Education costs, Employment income, The Labour Market, Tax, Financial Institutions and Insurance. The resources were produced with assistance from Desjardins, but EBO is not affiliated with any bank, meaning they can provide unbiased advice. EBO also partner with Desjardins to give interest free loans to individuals and families experiencing financial difficulty, with budgeting counseling, given the capacity to repay. Their third role is to help low income earners to file their income tax returns. It is inspiring to see good work being done where it is needed most by this organisation, and I am very thankful for the time Mario and Marie-Claude offered to work with me today.
