Purpose of this Workshop

The purpose of this workshop is to share perspectives and build understandings about approaches to Guaranteed Income. BIEN Canada believes that such sharing will aid the continued growth and mobilization of a network of individuals and organizations in Canada committed to realizing an expanded basic/guaranteed income system for Canada, and thus to realizing income security for all Canadians.

Who Should Participate?

The workshop is designed to both inform and engage participants in discussion of a variety of approaches and models for achieving Guaranteed Income and universal income security. The target audience includes "first voice" persons (those with the lived experience of poverty), academics and researchers, social justice movements, community organizations, social and economic policy analysts, and government officials and politicians.

If you are interested in an informal meeting of researchers working on guaranteed income on Thursday morning, please email Mike McCracken (mcracken[at]informetrica.com) to confirm your interest.

This conference will bring together community leaders, economic development professionals and entrepreneurs from all across Canada to hear about innovative solutions to local challenges. This conference is expected to be one of the largest Economic Development Conferences ever to be held in Canada. We anticipate over 750 delegates who will discover all of the exciting activities happening in BC around the 2010 Winter Olympics and discuss issues related to the current status of the national and global economic slowdown.

The registration cost is $200-600.  Travel costs are $150 plus accommodation.

Nicole is invited to the president's dinner for when they award the Legacy Scholarship.
