The Picture of Poverty in Niagara - Niagara Poverty Reduction Network

Carol Stewart-Kirkby, a member of The Niagara Poverty Reduction Network (NPRN) presented The Picture of Poverty in Niagara to council last night. The presentation highlighted the NPRN's vision of "All Niagara residents live above the poverty line."

NPRN established three goals to direct its work. They are:
1. Dispel myths about living in poverty
2. Improve collaboration and actions in poverty reduction efforts by all stakeholders
3. Engage and include all individuals in the community
