The Investor Education Fund, an initiative of the Ontario Securities Commission, has launched a new promotion on its website at GetSmarterAboutMoney.ca. At the site, three Canadian university students will blog weekly as part of a program called "School of Savings." The students, Fahmida Kamali, Stacey Bowman and Christine Sirois, will write about their concerns about their own financial situations. "We're putting personality into the topic of student finance," said fund president Tom Hamza. "IEF intends to help turn money-deprived students into better managers of their finances by engaging site visitors with similar and universal stories of the bad money experiences, naïve financial understanding and missing tools for responsible managing, saving and future investing of each blogger and each blog reader. Parents will find great benefit from reading the blogs too."
