CPABC has developed some financial literacy sessions specific for Indigenous communities. To support our volunteers who may be presenting sessions, Shelley Bevz, CPA, CA, CAFM worked with us to develop and present a self-learning module “Financial Literacy Cross Cultural and Sensitivity Train the Trainer – Know Your Audience: A First Nation CPA Perspective” . Shelley Bevz is Smelqmix (smelqmix) from Lower Similkameen Indian Band. She is Sylix (Silk) Indian and Blackfoot Lakota Cree. Her community is located next to Nighthawk, USA and spans from Vernon, BC down to Colville, Washington. She has been a CPA since 1992.
If you interact with First Nations communities, even if you are not a financial literacy volunteer, you may find this 1 hour 15 minute module interesting and informative and so you are invited to view it.
This video was developed for our financial literacy volunteers. It is not part of the CPABC PD program and does not include questions to make this video CPD verifiable. However, this can be included as unverifiable CPD reporting for CPABC members.
