Credit 101
Helping you learn the difference between good and bad credit and its impacts!
The Financial Aid and Awards presents ‘Thrifty Thursdays’, a series of workshops to help you stay on track financially.
Credit 101 welcomes Jonny Somers-Harris, BAComm, Financial Advisor from Prime Time Financial Inc. Jonny has a keen passion for getting young people on the journey toward financial freedom. During this workshop, you will learn:
- What is a credit score and how does it affect you?
- How do you build a credit score?
- What happens to your score if you declare bankruptcy or file a consumer proposal?
- How do you rebuild your credit?
- And much more…
In-person location: C259, Barrie Campus. A free pizza lunch is provided to in-person attendees.
