SUMMARY:Poverty Reduction Plans Work! Talk on the success of Newfoundland's poverty reduction strategy
DESCRIPTION:“Overcoming poverty is not a task of charity\, it is an act of justice. Like Slavery and Apartheid\, poverty is not natural. It is man-made and it can be overcome and eradicated by the actions of human beings. Sometimes it falls on a generation to be great. YOU can be that great generation. Let your greatness blossom.” \nNelson Mandela \n  \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin Dan Meades\, provincial co-ordinator for the Transition House Association of Newfoundland and Labrador\, for a presentation on the success of Newfoundland and Labrador’s poverty reduction strategy. Having shared one of the worst poverty rates in Canada with BC\, they have reduced their poverty rate and food insecurity significantly through their poverty reduction plan. BC still has one of the highest poverty rates and is now the only province without a poverty reduction plan. \n  \nDan will be joined by Iglika Ivanova\, Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives\, Chantille Viaud from Gordon Neighbourhood House\, and DJ Larkin from PIVOT Legal Society to highlight the cost of poverty in BC and how we could achieve justice for all through a poverty reduction plan for BC. \n  \nBook your free ticket here! \nTuesday April 25\, 7:00-8:30 PM\nASL Interpretation Provided by Registered & Certified ASL-English Interpreters\nAlma VanDusen & Peter Kaye Room\nVancouver Public Library\n350 West Georgia St \n  \nClick here to register for the Webinar! \nThursday April 27\, 2017 from 3-4 PM.\nhttps://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/4347594702529853699\nRegistrants will be sent a video recording following the webinar \n  \nThis event is sponsored by: \n\nBC Alliance on Mental Health/Illness and Addictions\nBCGEU\nBC Poverty Reduction Coalition\nCommunity Legal Assistance Society\nVancouver Coastal Health\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
