Canada Club Toronto: Financial Literacy is not nearly enough
2021-11-04 10:00 - 11:00
Celebrating Financial Literacy Month every November is easy, and…entirely insufficient. There has been a huge effort in the last decade to improve financial literacy in Canada — from government, non-profits, academia and industry, but still the needle hasn’t moved.
What are the most intractable barriers? What are the most promising and exciting solutions? Certainly digital interventions, grounded in cutting edge behavioural science, will be key.
Join Canadian Club Toronto on November 4th as we engage in a conversation about the financial challenges Canadians are facing as we emerge from the pandemic, and how better knowledge, insight and behaviour can help address them.

Her Story Competition
2021-11-18 10:00 - 14:00 | Virtual Online
Join us on November 18, 2021, for the inaugural HerStory 2021 Competition featuring 30 inspiring women-identifying entrepreneurs who will be sharing their stories in front of a panel of Champions looking to invest.
Including special guest speakers from across Canada’s entrepreneurial and investment ecosystem, HerStory is a national virtual event that will spark a movement focused on diversifying the investing and founder landscape.
What to expect:
HerStory participants will take turns sharing their stories with the audience and our panel of Champions. Each participant will have a couple of minutes to answer questions from the Champions that will dig deeper into participants’ journeys, and then later, as the Champions deliberate, we’ll have a fireside chat with a special surprise guest!
Attendees are highly encouraged to stay for the entire duration of the event to give each woman the audience she deserves for her narrative.
On November 18, 2021, we hope you’ll join us in cheering on and championing these founders as they share their stories of entrepreneurship and their journey to founding their company.
Why HerStory?
Studies have shown what women entrepreneurs and investors have known for decades: traditional pitch competitions consistently fail women. HerStory is quite literally flipping the script. By leading with narrative and encouraging a relatable, honest and intuitively woman-centred approach to information, connection and business building, we’re challenging the traditional pitch model and spurring innovation. HerStory amplifies a diversity of voices and connects modern entrepreneurs with appropriate investors, increasing the likelihood of women accessing pathways to success.

Introducing you to some of the 30 exhibitors at the ANA Avatar XPRIZE Tech Fair:
Blue Origin: Founded with a vision of millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth, Blue Origin’s efforts include flying astronauts to space on New Shepard, producing reusable liquid rocket engines, building next-generation space habitats, and returning to the surface of the Moon.
At the fair, meet the researchers powering these achievements and share your visions for life in space. Write or draw your ideas on a postcard and Blue Origin will actually send it to space on a New Shepard rocket, then return it to you stamped “Flown to Space.”
Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL): The world’s leader in robotic space exploration, JPL are sending rovers to Mars, probes into the farthest reaches of the solar system, and satellites to advance understanding of our home planet.
Experience JPL’s software ProtoSpace, a collaborative augmented reality CAD visualization tool that is actually used by our engineers to design and build for NASA. This is a hands-on demonstration to see a full-scale spacecraft in augmented reality!
Surface Avatar (DLR x ESA): Developing robots designed to act in surroundings that are inaccessible or dangerous to humans, and that can support humans in everyday life and work.
Visit their booth to find out how astronauts are commanding a robot on Earth, exactly like several crew members have done from the ISS! Using the same multi-modal user interface, you will command a humanoid robot, Rollin’ Justin, in a variety of tasks in a simulated Martian environment.
Puli Space: Alumni of the Google Lunar XPRIZE, Puli Space develops a lightweight, low cost planetary rover with unique mobility capabilities to explore lunar water resources.
At the ANA Avatar XPRIZE Tech Fair, they’ll present the Puli rover I2.61 – visitors can experience its Mission Control interface and drive the rover. Plus, they’ll demo the NASA awarded Puli Lunar Water Snooper, a miniaturized neutron detector, which will search for water ice on the Moon.
