Canada Without Poverty released a new national plan for ending poverty today. Dignity for All: A National Anti-Poverty Plan for Canada was developed after engaging and consulting communities.
The plan calls for the Federal Government to immediately take action to address both the immediate and long-term needs of the 1 in 7 Canadians who live in poverty.
The 6 areas addressed in the plan are:
- Income security
- Housing and homelessness
- Health
- Food security
- Early childhood education and care, and
- Jobs and employment
