Improving Financial Health in Canada

The goal of this partnership is to develop data-driven tools that will empower individual Canadians to improve their financial resilience and reduce their levels of financial stress. Individuals will complete a short questionnaire; based on their responses, will be assigned to one of three groups – financially stressed, financially coping or financially comfortable – giving them a clear picture of where they lie on the “financial wellness spectrum.” They will be informed of how changes to their response profile would lead to movement up or down the spectrum and will be pointed towards resources that can help them with their specific circumstances. The project will help the Canadian Payroll Association (CPA) cement its role as a thought leader with respect to financial well-being in Canada.
