BMO Equity Through Education Trading Day Will Be September 20, 2023

September 14, 2023

FWA is pleased to be partnering with BMO Capital Markets once again as a beneficiary of its Equity Through Education program. 

Equity Through Education is a charitable initiative aimed at creating a more diverse workplace by offering support to help bright, deserving people get on a path to success.


Since its inception in 2005, the BMO Equity Through Education annual program has raised almost C$30 million by donating one day’s institutional equity trading commissions earned across North America & Europe directly to organizations that provide access to education. This translates into assistance to more than 5,000 students through scholarships, bursaries, stipends, mentoring programs and job search strategy forums. 



This year’s Equity Through Education trading day will be held on September 20, 2023. Please consider placing your trades with BMO Capital Markets on that day. Help students get on a path to success.
