Call the Question

Money money mo-ney! We welcome Vancity's chief member experine officer, Christine Bergeron, to talk about $$$: women in finance, and *women and finance*. Christine talks about her own experience in the financial sector as a hedge fund manager, and how gender dynamics and the sector's intense focus on maximizing profit may prevent more women from working the field. She also tells us how an increasing industry wide focus on CSR and sustainability is helping to change industry culture. We also dig into the complex relationships many women (and men) have with money and our own personal finances, and that we may know more about money than we think we do.Then, Maria and Lesli take a look at the growing number of local BC bylaws - including the recent bylaw passed in Maple Ridge - to punish people with *no money* with fines for being poor and homeless. WTF?
