Who We Are
The Credit Counselling Society is an accredited non-profit that helps Canadians solve their money problems. We do this by providing free credit counselling, low-cost debt solutions, and education to help you manage your money better.
Our goal is to empower you with the knowledge and tools for building the financial success that everyone deserves. We’re here to help you through your difficult times and towards a better future.
Our Mission
We Help. We Educate. We Give Hope.
No one is born with good money management skills, but we believe that financial well-being is achievable for everyone. We help by providing free resources and guidance. If you have a financial issue that you can’t overcome by yourself, then we’re here to help you through it.
