This past Wednesday, University College of the North connected athletes in The Pas with a first-of-its-kind financial literacy presentation designed specifically for the hockey players of the Northern Manitoba Blizzard Jr A Club.

Business faculty members Janice Seto and Anna Dudina lead the session.

The initiative stems from a direct request from the Blizzard organization, which recognized the need to equip its young athletes with essential life skills.

The session provided players with the foundational knowledge needed to manage their finances as they navigate their athletic careers.

UCN’s presentation titled ‘Make Your Money Work for You’, laid out a positive approach to budgets and credit card use that has the goal of looking at finances as a critical tool for success.
