POVERTY AFFECTS US ALL!
Join us to learn more about poverty reduction and what is happening at the local and provincial levels

WHEN?
Tuesday, February 26th, 2008: 6-9pm (refreshments will be served)

WHERE?
Royal Canadian Legion Branch 23.

WHY?
Communities across Ontario are organizing to consult with the Ontario Government on a plan for poverty reduction. It is important that we promote a policy framework for poverty reduction that focuses on the living conditions and life opportunities for low-income people. Our goal is building healthy communities for all.

We urge you to plan to attend this event and to join with other citizens in North Bay:

- To hear about what North Bay and Sudbury are doing to tackle poverty at the local level

- To learn more about the proposed poverty reduction framework at the provincial level

Marvyn Novick, Social Planning Network of Ontario and CAMPAIGN 2000

Janet Gasparini, Social Planning Council of Sudbury, Sudbury City Councillor

Tiffany Nunner, North Bay RideShare Program Co-ordinator
