Bright Spot: Dufferin County has reduced its chronic homeless population by 26%

The Ontario government wants to hear from people across the province about what they want to see in the next poverty reduction strategy.

“Empowering people and supporting them during challenging times is a priority for our government. We also know we cannot do this work alone,” said Todd Smith, Minister of Children, Community and Social Services. “It’s important we listen to people who have experienced poverty, community organizations, Indigenous communities and organizations, and our partners about how we can break the cycle of poverty to ensure everyone has a chance to succeed and contribute to their community.” 

The 2020 Local Labour market report compiled by the Workforce Planning Board of Waterloo Wellington Dufferin is now available online. This report is filled with labour force stats, key findings and recommendations that are reflective of our geographical area.

You can view the full report by following the link below. We have also prepared a quick and easy to read summary document which highlights some of the key findings. You will find the link to the summary below as well.
