#DCMOVESpoverty
The Dufferin Country Poverty Reduction Task Force (DCPRTF) hosted a Community Poverty Reduction Summit Wednesday Jan 17th at the New Hope Church that raised the awareness of the picture of poverty in Dufferin County to new heights. The summit included three speaker panels and two personal stories presented by Dufferin County citizens.
The agenda included presentations on federal and provincial policy, programs and Poverty Reduction Roadmaps and flowed into a picture, shared by our local human service providers, of the impact of poverty on their clients, and how it's impacting their ability to serve them.
The summit was a success in meeting its objective to create greater awareness around local poverty and indeed it has inspired some attendees to move into action to work on reducing its impact.
