During Financial Literacy Month, Launch Okanagan is hosting an interactive evening, along with a series of free learning opportunities to help residents build financial confidence. For more than 14 years, Launch Okanagan has helped those living in the region with financial knowledge and resources. This November, the organization will host its fourth annual fundraiser, Talk Money. Build Confidence. Launch Change. On Tuesday, Nov. 4, at the Kelowna Community Theatre, from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m., Launch Okanagan will have guest speakers as well as a presentation to highlight the charity’s programs that help individuals with education, empowerment, and financial confidence.

There will also be free financial literacy workshops that take place every Wednesday starting on Nov. 5 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. for the month of November.
