Tune in to ‘Dollars and Sense’ weekly radio show heard Sundays at 5pm on CKNW AM 980 to get real-world tips, tools and techniques to help you navigate the often murky world of consumer debt.
Our Mission
We want to take the shame and stigma away from being in debt and give real solutions to people facing debt issues. Whether you’re in over your head already, or just aiming to avoid the common pitfalls that often lead to consumer debt issues, Dollars and Sense is for you! Each week co-hosts Elaine Scollan and Licensed Insolvency Trustee Blair Mantin discuss a variety of engaging monetary topics ranging from debt management to financial literacy, with many stops in between.
Dollars and Sense aims to create relatable conversations around money, finances and debt, with practical tips and advice from expert guests that fit into everyday life for listeners.
Why Dollars and Sense? Because Knowing Is Not Owing!
If you were faced with financial crisis, would you know all of your legal rights, remedies and options? For many people, the answer is a resounding ‘no’. Even if you personally are in financial good health, there may be people in your life that will face debt challenges and seek guidance from you. We want to help empower consumers to make informed decisions and take the taboo away from money matters. Being in debt is a problem like any other – and it has solutions.
