Tamarack Institute – Vibrant Communities Canada’s (VCC) Co founder and Co-CEO, Paul Born will be joined by VCC’s Adam Vasey, Director of Policy, Learning, and Evaluation in discussion about the soon-to-be-released State of Cities Reducing Poverty paper, exploring the evolution and impact of the poverty reduction movement in Canada. Paul and Adam will specifically focus on movements in the new millennium, including: aligning provincial/territorial and national poverty reduction strategies, social innovation contributions to the poverty reduction field, domains such as Financial Empowerment and Housing First, and the rise of national advocacy movements that are amplifying the political will for poverty elimination in Canada.
Paul will highlight the rapidly growing commitment of Canadians toward ending poverty, and – as ever the optimist – will lead you in your own reflection on the question: How do we work together to build the “community will” to end poverty in Canada by 2050?
