SUMMARY:Basic Income Guarantee and Health: BIG Promise or a BIG Problem?
DESCRIPTION:Please Join Us March 13th for a Policy Discussion  \nBasic Income Guarantee and Health: \nBIG Promise or a BIG Problem? \n  \n  \nOn Tuesday\, March 13th from 9:00 am to 11:30 am – please plan on joining the BC Alliance for Healthy Living Society at the downtown Vancouver Public Library for an engaging discussion on the prospects of a Basic Income Guarantee as a policy lever to reduce poverty and improve health outcomes. \n  \nThe health implications of poverty place a terrible burden on people\, families\, communities and the healthcare system.  With a new Poverty Reduction Strategy in development\, now is the time to consider new approaches and learn from other places.

We’ll hear about Ontario’s pilot projects that are currently testing Basic Income Guarantee in three Ontario communities to see the difference it makes in the lives of real people. We’ll also hear about some of the challenges with the current Income Assistance system. \n  \n  \nPanelists include: \n\n Kwame Mckenzie\, CEO of the Wellesley Institute and Special Advisor to the Ontario Basic Income Pilot\nDr. John Millar\, Member of the Minister’s Advisory Forum on Poverty Reduction\nJenna van Draanen\, Board Member\, Basic Income Canada Network\nMargot Young\, Professor in the Allard School of Law at the University of British Columbia\n\n  \n  \nParticipants will be encouraged to share their own expertise on poverty reduction and insights on Basic Income Guarantee. We invite you to join in the conversation! \n  \n  \nTuesday\, March 13\, 2018\, 9:00-11:30 am \n Alma VanDusen Room \nVancouver Public Library \n350 W Georgia Street \nVancouver\, BC \n  \nDeadline to register: Tuesday\, March 6th Please RSVP to Brenda Bedford at bbedford@bchealthyliving.ca \n  \n
