Moose Jaw Times-Herald: Ways to finance education

“Whether that relates to college or university or trade, there’s always different financial information that’s useful,” said Christa Lapointe, career counsellor at Vanier Collegiate.
“I always find that learning about financial literacy and learning how to finance your education, it’s always important. Everyone hears about it, but when it’s right around the corner it definitely becomes much more relevant.”
