“Knowledge is Your Best Investment” - October is Investor Education Month
Toronto, October 2, 2007 - October marks the 10th Annual Investor Education Month.
It’s a great time for investors to learn about the many information resources and tools that
are available to them at no cost.
Regulators and non-profit financial associations and organizations - members of the
Council for Investor Education - share a common interest in empowering investors to
take an active role in their financial affairs. October presents an opportunity for these
organizations to profile initiatives and publications and to offer special events.

regulators interested in empowering Canadians with the knowledge to make informed
