Book excerpt: "Governments at all levels have made efforts to reduce poverty. This includes the development of several poverty reduction strategies already in place across Canada's provinces, territories and municipalities. At the federal level, the Government has made several recent announcements on initiatives that will support its poverty reduction efforts. The Government of Canada is seeking views on how to build on and align with these existing efforts. Developing a Canadian Poverty Reduction Strategy also presents an opportunity for government to examine its programs to see if they can be strengthened to address the causes of poverty in Canada"--Page 4.

The motion stipulates that the study focus on four specific areas of intervention: federal income support and savings programs; the promotion of employment, education and training; housing support; and broader community initiatives. The motion also requires that special attention be paid to vulnerable communities; gender differences; existing poverty reduction strategies in Canada; as well as innovative approaches to reducing poverty through collaboration between the various levels of government, social innovation, private sector and non-profit initiatives, and social financing"--p. 1.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Commissioned by the Canadian Council on Social Development ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The authors wish to thank Robyn Newton and Rebecca Siggner of the Social Planning and Research Council of BC (SPARC BC) for their research assistance and advice in the development of this report. [...] The goal of this report is to examine key aspects of poverty and low income in British Columbia and the policy and programs designed to reduce and mitigate the impact of poverty. [...] And unlike other parts of the country, the economy in British Columbia experienced a fairly severe downturn in the early 2000s, linked to the Asian financial crisis and negative impacts of the softwood lumber dispute with the United States. [...] Overview In Canada, the percentage of the population living in poverty was slightly lower in 2006 compared to 1980; in British Columbia, the trend has been in the opposite direction. [...] Total payments received over the year would allow a reference family of two adults and two children (aged seven and three) to meet approximately three- quarters of some measure of low-income - 74.6% of the after-tax LICO and 77.7% of the MBM.5 Metro Vancouver ranks near the bottom for GAR-receiving cities in Canada in terms of the adequacy of its support payments.

[...] In November 2014 the B. C. Federation of Labour launched the Fight for $15 campaign and continues to work with a coalition of allied organiza- tions to encourage the provincial government to implement a $15/hour wage.17 The Premier has stated that she is opposed to implementing the $15 wage because of its negative impact on small businesses; however, critics, including Vancouver Mayor Gregor Rober [...] Therefore, this section focuses on the plan first drafted by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives19 and adopted by the B. C. Poverty Reduction Coalition, a broad-based network of over 400 or- ganizations calling on the provincial government to adopt a poverty reduction plan.20 1.
