Only one such award is conferred in Canada each year.
Ainsley was nominated by Community Financial Counselling Services, who described her as ” a champion and leader in financial literacy in Manitoba, who has not only developed educational materials and financial literacy resources, but has also be able to bring diverse groups together to forge cooperation and coordination in financial literacy endeavours in Manitoba.”
