This week's story is about a new program at SEED supported by funding from Canada's investment regulator (CIRO) gathered from penalties paid by advisors and dealers caught breaking the rules.The program in question is a new pilot from SEED aimed at Indigenous youth who could receive windfalls from recent settlements over discriminatory child welfare services.
