    Ideas

    Residents from this ward shared the following ideas to help eliminate poverty from their community in 2021:
    • More cultural supports within the community, especially for Indigenous and recent immigrant communities that generally have to travel to access supports
    • More acknowledgment that poverty exists in the community, and education about how people can help their neighbours
    • Invest in social services agencies within the community, especially since the Southwest Communities Resource Centre is closing
