Share Your Thoughts on Poverty

Interested in sharing your thoughts on poverty? E4C is hosting a consultation to provide input to the provincial government regarding a poverty reduction strategy. Information from this discussion will be used by the provincial government to create a Poverty Reduction Strategy for Alberta that will describe how we can better understand the experience of poverty in Alberta, and what it will take to achieve success in reaching the goals to end child poverty in five years and reduce poverty overall in 10 years.

There are a couple of opportunities to attend:

• Wednesday, September 25 from 7-9 pm at First Baptist Church (10031 109 Street)
• Sunday, September 29 from 12-2 pm at Anglican Parish of Christ Church (12116 102 Avenue)

Space is limited, please RSVP to: ea@e4calberta.org or (780) 424-7543 ext. 153.

If you cannot make it to these consultation, there are several other options for getting involved in the discussion: http://povertyreduction.alberta.ca/  A Poverty Reduction Strategy discussion paper can be found here: http://povertyreduction.alberta.ca/files/documents/ahs-prs-discussionguide-web.pdf
