Today, more than 175 cities in Canada have, or are developing, community plans that engage governments, business, not for profits, and citizens with lived/living experience of poverty to work together to implement new approaches. We are at a unique moment in history in which cities, provinces and our federal government are all converging with independent, yet interrelated, poverty reduction strategies.
We welcome you to join Cities Innovating to Reduce Poverty, hosted by Vibrant Communities and the City of Vancouver, on June 12-13, 2018 in Vancouver, BC. This event will facilitate learning and dialogue across sectors, harness the distinctive synergies of today’s poverty reduction movement, and take our collective understanding of innovation in poverty reduction to the next level.
