The 25 in 5 Network for Poverty Reduction is hosting a day-long forum on April 14 to build momentum for Ontario’s poverty reduction plan. Building on the success of our January meeting, we want to share strategies for how we can keep working together to ensure Ontario gets a real plan to reduce poverty. We’ll be hearing from people living in poverty, those working on poverty reduction at the community level and in other provinces, and practical ways to bring more people into the conversation.
