This is a unique time in the history of Canada. Across the country every provincial and territorial government has or is considering a poverty reduction strategy. In addition, for the first time in history, most cities (communities) are enacting poverty reduction strategies focused on reducing the number of Canadians experiencing poverty.

We know the economic and social costs of poverty on people and for the cities in which they live. This is a time of real hope as cities and provinces are joining together to support one another with the goal of significantly reducing poverty in Canada.

Join us May 6-8 in Ottawa as we leverage our collective efforts and build the movement to reduce poverty across Canada.
