Information for Teachers

Our children’s economic education becomes more and more important in our consumer society.

For over 70 years, Manitoba Caisses have participated in the economic education of its young members. Today, we still naturally continue to support parents and schools in this area of education.

The nature, mission, values and principles of action of the school and the Caisse are alike. Both institutions aim at providing education towards financial independance for individuals and their communities. We are pleased to share with you our educational approach to saving along with cooperative values for young members through our Club Caisse educational program.

Club Caisse is based on the same principles as the Caisse scolaire school program; Club Caisse has simply been improved and modernized.

In addition to general Club and prize information, the Club’s website contains links to a number of projects and learning aids that you can use with your students to increase understanding of financial concepts.

It is our sincere hope that our collaboration can be of use to you in providing economic education for children of all ages.
