Baby, you and me
Maybe some of you remember this Jackson Five song? Why am I singing it to you ? This week I attended a conference in lovely Kitchener held by the Tamarack Institute on the subject of ABC...and D ... Asset Based Community Development.  I can, without a doubt, say it was the best conference I have attended - in every aspect.  More on ABCD later, but for now I shall share,  a basic premise of ABCD is.... focus on our assets not our deficits. Now I apologize because you may be singing this little ABC chorus all day. Enjoy the sunshine and the bulletin.

POVERTY REDUCTION

 

Over the past year, the Government of Canada has travelled across the country, engaging with thousands of Canadians, especially those who have lived experience with poverty, to hear their stories, ideas and feedback about reducing poverty. Today the Honourable Jean-Yves Duclos, Minister of Families, Children and Social Development, announced the release of the What We Heard report, a summary of the feedback gathered during the Poverty Reduction Strategy engagement process.
