A session for a group: how a date is set
Write the town, the month, the hours that suit you and how many players will take part. The reply names a date when a Trainer is free that month and carries a written offer: the figure, the Trainer’s travel from Carleton Place, the lead time and the cancellation terms. A date is held once the reply names it.
Your side is a suitable room and a break at half-time; the Trainer brings the boards, cards, play money and ledgers, and explains the rules in the first thirty minutes.

Questions from Carleton Place, Lanark County and Arnprior
Do you run financial literacy workshops in Carleton Place?
Yes, for groups. Life Capital is based at 215 Preston Drive, Carleton Place, and a school, youth group, club, company or family can book a five-hour session at its own venue in town. Single seats are sold at the open sessions in Ottawa.
Where do the open sessions run?
In Ottawa: five hours from 13:00, usually at a weekend, in a booked room. The date is set in the reply to your enquiry. A teenager from Carleton Place, Almonte or Arnprior books a seat there, alone or as a pair with a parent.
Can a school in Lanark County book Life Capital?
Yes. Schools take a club across the school year for Grades 9–12: shorter theory meetings and full five-hour games, at the school, with tables in multiples of eight. The quote follows how many tables run at once and the travel to the school.
Do you come to Arnprior, Perth or Smiths Falls?
Yes, for a group session at your venue anywhere in Eastern Ontario. Name the town in the enquiry; the Trainer’s travel is set out in the written offer together with the figure, the lead time and the cancellation terms.
How much does a session cost?
From 1 November 2026: CAD 200 a seat at an Ottawa open session, CAD 150 each for a pair booked together, and CAD 1,000 for a whole table of up to eight. School clubs and company sessions are quoted for the case, in writing.
Who is it for?
Teenagers from 14 and adults, at the same table or in groups of their own. Five to eight players sit at a table, eight at most; larger groups play several tables at once.
What happens during the five hours?
A 30-minute briefing, a 2-hour first half, a break, a second half of 1 hour 45 minutes and a 30-minute debrief. Players live about forty years of financial decisions on the board, keep their own paper ledger, and the Banker pays out and collects the play money.
Can a Rotary club or a community group pay for teenagers to take part?
Yes. The Ukrainian Community of Lanark County co-organized the 2025 Canadian stage, and Rotary clubs and districts supported the Canadian tournaments. The partners page sets out how a funded group works.
