Because of our generous donors, we get to support some incredible programs, projects, and organizations in the Battle River Region.

Having personally participated in a poverty simulation in the past, I highly recommend the opportunity.

Do you understand what it's really like to live in poverty?

Gain a new perspective on the reality of many individuals in our community through this hands-on and informative group Poverty Simulation Workshop. You will manage a fictional family's budget; encounter real-life challenges like unexpected bills; and navigate day-to-day tasks like child care and attending work.

This reality may be closer than you think — impacting someone in your workplace, community group, school, sports team, or neighbourhood.

Friday, February 6 from 8:30am to 1:30pm
Mirror Lake Centre, 5415-49 Ave., Camrose
Lunch included!
