During the pandemic, social inequities in Canada have become more apparent than ever before. Vulnerable populations in our cities have borne the brunt of Covid-19 due to gaps in the health care system and public health messaging lost in translation. On February 2, TL Insider welcomed experts from both the private and public sectors for an in-depth discussion on Toronto’s homelessness crisis amidst Covid-19, and the innovations in health care that are improving access for Toronto’s at-risk communities.
On January 25, TL Insider hosted Rajan Bansi, head of RBC InvestEase ®, and Rhiannon Rosalind, CEO of the Economic Club of Canada, for an essential Fireside Chat on building financial resilience for Canadian youth. Moderated by Jason Maghanoy, head of business development at St. Joseph Media, the discussion spanned first jobs, the benefits of having financial role models, and our emotional and social relationships with money.
Addressing financial illiteracy among Canadian youth was a major discussion point, as Rhiannon and Rajan shared their stories of growing up with compromised ideas of how to manage their finances. This is an ongoing problem among Canadian youth, many of whom enter adulthood feeling confused and intimidated by money management. For Rajan, breaking this cycle starts with “having an open discussion about money” and rejecting the stigma of money talk being taboo.
