Canadian Anti-Poverty Effort Hosts Countdown to a Poverty Reduction Strategy
The Government of Ontario is committed to a Poverty Reduction Strategy. The 25 in 5 Campaign will work towards reducing poverty levels in Ontario by 25 percent in 5 years and 50 percent by 2018.
On October 27th, the 25 in 5 Network for Poverty Reduction hosted a Toronto Network General Assembly that brought together friends and allies, including Half in Ten Executive Director Lisa Donner, as part of the countdown to the announcement of Ontario’s Poverty Reduction plan in December 2008.
