Finance Training

Girl Guides of Canada, Ontario Council Centralized Banking System

Girl Guides of Canada, Ontario Council has put in place a Centralized Banking System that all Units will be moving onto in the next few months. In order to ensure a smooth transition a training module has been created to help Units transfer to this new way of work. Trainings will be conducted via conference call or face to face sessions.

Each Unit & Guild will be required to designate someone as the Unit Treasurer. Once designated, they will be required to undertake this training. A Unit Treasurer can be a Guider within the Unit/Guild or a parent (see Guiding Essentials for requirements). If you are a Unit Treasurer for more than one Unit or Guild, you only have to take the finance training once. Only the Unit Treasurer should reserve a spot at a training to allow all Unit Treasurers the opportunity to take this training.

Your Options:

Conference Calls:
There will be two types of conference calls offered;
1. access to both the internet and telephone simultaneously is required
2. only a telephone is required and the ability to view PowerPoint presentation that is sent to you with your confirmation email.

Face to Face:
Face to face trainings are also being organized for individuals who do not have access to computers to support the conference call method of delivery.
