Please add your voice to the Bishop’s call for social justice for those living in poverty:

Everyday across the Diocese, individuals, groups, parishes and social justice ministries are working hard to meet the needs of our neighbours living in poverty. Please add your voice to the call for social justice for those in need.

Here’s how you can help

  1. Learn about the face of poverty in our Diocese and reflect on your role as a person of faith in reducing poverty.
  2. Participate in the public consultation on the development of a provincial poverty reduction strategy through the government website www.growingstronger.ca/en/tackle_poverty.html or by calling Toll Free: 1-866-614-5953or TTY: 1-800-387-5559. The questions relate primarily to child poverty ignoring the many adults who live in poverty.   All children have parents, uncles, aunts, grandparents and other adults in their lives and live in community.  Add your comments on how might this poverty reduction strategy create better villages where all can raise the children in a healthy and wholesome manner.
  3. Attend the community consultation meeting where you live and share your stories and solutions on how to reduce poverty in your neighbourhood, community, town or city.
