Sun Life Financial’s “Your Money, Your Wellness” (“YMYW”) is a high-energy, interactive game and lesson plan that exposes students and teachers to the link between physical and financial wellbeing. The game was created as a fun and educational resource for students and teachers designed to complement the lesson plan that is currently being taught in the classroom. With an interactive video tutorial, the “YMYW” game can be played as a class activity, individually or at home, dynamically connecting the link between wealth and health.

Our goal is to actively position students on the path to a prosperous, healthy future by having every classroom across the nation playing, learning and enjoying “YMYW”.

The Jr. Economic Club of Canada was created to inspire Canadian youth to become financially literate. We believe that young people across our nation need to understand the basics of finance and personal money management. The global financial crisis has impacted financial intuitions, businesses and families all over the world.
