Poverty Reduction Consultations in Ontario

Thanks to the efforts of many people across Ontario, the Provincial Government has promised to develop a comprehensive poverty reduction strategy. The Government has launched a process of community consultations to get public input on the plan.

You have an important role to play in letting the Government know you support their pledge to reduce poverty. You can also encourage the government to take bold steps that can help lift people out of poverty. Here is how.

• Explore the biblical vision of a poverty free society.
• Learn more about pathways towards a poverty free Ontario.
• Let the government know your thoughts on poverty reduction.
