Make the Month
Simulation
What is Make the Month?
Make the Month is an experiential tool that helps Canadians from all walks of life explore the impact poverty has on wellbeing in all its forms, from financial solvency to family health, cultural inclusion, and everything in between. Featuring four unique characters, each based on a real Canadian, Make the Month challenges users to spend a month in their shoes, making the big and small decisions people face every day. These decisions won’t just determine whether a character makes the month with money left in the bank, but also how their quality of life will change based on the choices they make.
