May 15, 2024, Manitoba – Schools across Manitoba will have the chance to win a special Access Credit Union financial literacy workshop, featuring a player from the Winnipeg Blue Bombers! As part of the five-year sponsorship, Access Credit Union and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers have teamed up to combine expertise in support of community initiatives focused on youth and to promote financial literacy.
The “Tackle your finances like a pro” workshop will be delivered by the Access financial literacy team, along with a Winnipeg Blue Bombers player, to teach students practical money management skills and tips. The 60-minute workshop will be a fun and interactive experience, with students being able to ask questions and interact with a Bombers player, all while learning about financial literacy. Exciting giveaways and prizes will also be up for grabs.
“Access is excited to be teaming up with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers to help teach students how to manage money, budget, and make good financial choices,” said Larry Davey, President and CEO of Access Credit Union. “Our goal with financial literacy is always to help empower people with financial knowledge and we believe that starts at a young age.”
“The Financial Literacy Program is a great initiative from Access Credit Union to empower and educate youth in our local communities,” said Wade Miller, President and CEO of the Winnipeg Football Club. “The Winnipeg Blue Bombers are excited to partner with Access Credit Union and support this program in the years ahead to see the students benefit from these workshops.”
The Financial Literacy Program at Access Credit Union began in 2017 and provides the tools and resources to give employees, members, and the community the knowledge and skills they need to achieve financial success. The goal is to help increase financial knowledge and prepare for life's biggest events. Each workshop is led by a certified financial literacy trainer.
