Addressing the gender gap: The importance of raising public awareness of deposit insurance among women in Canada
The Board of Directors of the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (CDIC) is pleased to announce that its 2021 Annual Public Meeting will be held via live webcast on October 21, 2021 from 2 p.m. – 3 p.m. ET. The bilingual meeting will feature a panel discussion on the importance of raising public awareness of deposit protection among women in Canada.
Leah Anderson, President and CEO of CDIC, will be joined by members of the CDIC Board of Directors and a panel of subject matter experts for a conversation about the gender gap when it comes to women and financial literacy. The panel will look at Canadian-based behavioural research into potential causes for the gap and will discuss CDIC’s public awareness research, highlighting the significant role women play in supporting financial stability across Canada.
Members of the public are invited to participate and can ask questions of the panel live, or in advance by emailing smenquiries@cdic.ca or by sending a tweet or direct message to @CDIC_CA in English or @SADC_CA in French.
