In 2015, Canada committed to the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The Localizing Canada’s Commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals Project (SDGs Project) by Campaign 2000 is developing a community-driven indicator framework for the federal government to use to measure progress toward achieving several of the SDGs. This project will inform the measurement framework for realizing rights and ending poverty in local contexts through a series of roundtables.
The roundtable format will include presentations, guest speakers and breakout discussions and will feature those who have been engaged through the SDG’s Project. Participants will have an opportunity to connect with organizations and individuals dedicated to ending poverty from across the country for movement-building. The roundtables will be held from June 14-16, 2023. Register for the roundtables here.

Dufferin County calls on the Province to prioritize housing and homelessness.
Dufferin County joins the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) in calling for the provincial government to work more collaboratively with municipalities to increase the supply of housing and tackle the homelessness crisis in Ontario.
In Dufferin, there are currently around 800 applicant households on the Housing Access Dufferin Centralized Waiting List, with an average wait of between 4 to 8 years. In 2021, 1 in 10 (or 6,000) people in Dufferin lived in poverty, and 1 in 9 households lived in core housing needs. More information on housing and homelessness in Dufferin County can be found at www.dufferincounty.ca
AMO, a non-profit organization representing almost all of Ontario’s 444 municipal governments, presented housing and homelessness as top priorities for the 2023 provincial budget to the Standing Committee on Finance and Economic Affairs.

Housing Assessment Resource Tools (HART) Webinar
Central to the problem of housing and homelessness is the absence of shared, replicable, comparable, and equity-focused data to measure housing need, as well as a lack of understanding of the policies that can provide the right supply for who needs what kinds of housing where. The Housing Assessment Resource Tools (HART) project, based at UBC, aims to solve that problem.
This webinar provides an in-depth workshop on new HART tools and the updates added since their launch in March 2023.
Webinar date & time: June 8th, 2023 at 1:00pm ET.

Fundraising is about more than just raising money. It touches almost every aspect of the mission of the organization and yet, it's often seen as separate. If you want fundraising to succeed, you have to do more than simply work hard at it. You have to understand what it takes to create the right environment for fundraising to thrive. That's where The Four Pillars of Fundraising come in.
