We’re looking for some curious minds to ask us intriguing questions about money and the economy. Learn more about the contest, submit your questions by March 26 and find out what happens next.
Get your class reflecting on money’s history, both from Canada and abroad, in our new inquiry-based lesson plan for grades 5–10: “Money: Past, Present and Future.”
