Canada might be a wealthy nation, but too many of our children and youth live in third world conditions – without a proper home or house, going to food banks for their one meal of the day, braving the cold without adequately insulated coats, jackets and shoes, having to say no to school field trips and events, and much more else that those of us who aren’t on low-income take for granted. Ontario Campaign 2000 wants to see child, youth and family poverty eradicated in our province and our country. We produce reports and we talk to governments whenever we get the opportunity to do so. We give presentations, go to rallies, tweet, involve people living in poverty and much more. But we all need to do more. And in order to do more we need to educate ourselves, our friends, family and neighbours about the problems faced by kids and youth living in poverty here – in our community, citiy, province and Country. We need to talk about these problems, raise awareness and come up with solutions. Together. Together we can make our province better for everyone. Educate to Eradicate! We will keep updating this page and hope you can help spread the word. Feel free to contact us if you want to know more about poverty in Ontario and Canada and we’ll do our best to answer your questions. And if you want to get more involved – we’ve always got things to do. This is our province – let’s talk about how we can make it a better place for everyone.
