I thought I'd share photos of some of the more recent Little Free Libraries that have popped up throughout the Tri-Cities.
Here is the Little Free Library at Evergreen Park at 3500 Cedar Drive in PoCo.
Here is the one at the Burquitlam Community Garden at 515 Ebert Ave in Coquitlam
And one outside of PoCo Heritage and Cultural Society at 2248 McAllister Ave in PoCo which also features a special post which was a joint project between PoCo Heritage, United Way Avenues of Change Coquitlam River and SD43.
November is Financial Literacy Month
November is Financial Literacy Month (FLM)! Throughout the month, Canadians are encouraged to invest in their financial well-being. This means taking control of their finances and reducing financial stress by making a budget, having a savings and debt reduction plan, and understanding their financial rights and responsibilities.
Free programs, tools and resources to help employers get started.
