[1]The Financial Consumer Agency of Canada [1] (FCAC) is offering Canadian students the chance to win one of three laptop computers while they learn about budgeting, savings, credit, debt and financial planning. The City [2] provides students with a fun and effective way to learn important money management concepts. Using The City and entering the contest is class work that really pays off.
The City is a free, Web-based learning program developed by FCAC and the British Columbia Securities Commission [3] (BCSC). The City is easily accessible and can be used by teachers and students online or on paper. In order to qualify to win the laptops, students face a “100% challenge”: they must complete four modules in The City and score 100 percent on a follow-up quiz. The three winners will be chosen randomly from a draw of all qualified entrants. The contest is open until March 31, 2012.
The contest rules [4] are available on FCAC’s website, or can be obtained by calling the Agency’s Consumer Services Centre toll-free at 1-866-461-3222.
Teachers and students who have used The City talk about their experience in FCAC’s Success Stories [5] videos featuring students in Alberta and New Brunswick.
