The lazy days of summer are numbered which means that many of you are in full 'back-to-school' mode. Over the next couple of weeks many will be braving the malls, outlets, and department stores all in an effort to get ready for the new school year. For some, the amount of stress accumulated during this time of year rivals that of Christmas, so we've put together Credit Canada's Back to School issue of the newsletter to ease a bit of the pain. In this issue you will find some advice on back to school shopping and budgeting, as well as an update on Credit Education Week Canada 2008, an essay contest, and new partner organizations.
