End Poverty Edmonton
EndPovertyEdmonton is an excellent example of how one Canadian municipality is tackling the issue of poverty and working across sectors.
In 2014, the city of Edmonton established the Mayor's Task Force to Eliminate Poverty. It was co-chaired by Edmonton's Mayor Don Iveson and Bishop Jane Alexander. The Task Force included 7 Working Groups to address key priorities around poverty: early childhood development education, health and wellness, housing and transportation, community well-being, economic security and justice and democratic participation.
The result of the Task Force's work is EndPovertyEdmonton - a community-based initiative aimed at advancing a vision of share prosperity for all, where every Edmontonian has an equal opportunity to live, work, participate and thrive.
