On our June convenor call, we launched two Communities Ending Poverty events:
 
Our 2022 Communities Ending Poverty Virtual Member Gathering will be held on October 19, 2022. We will connect, celebrate successes, and brainstorm how we can build equity and resilience as CEP shifts systems and works collaboratively to end poverty in Canada. Register up to three people per member community. We hope to see you all there!
 
Looking ahead to our 2023 Communities Ending Poverty National Summit (spring 2023) we ask you to let us know what you'd like the theme to be, what speakers you'd like to hear from, and what you'd like to learn.
 
Recently Published:  
Member Highlights:
  • Grey-Bruce counties released its Vital Focus on Housing Report animating local affordable housing data. This report draws from various sources and translates data into readable and accessible infographics.
  • Barrie city council is shifting from criminalizing panhandling to poverty reduction. Barrie councillors have approved a seven-part plan to deal with various social issues, from mental health and addiction to homelessness.
  • Guelph and Wellington Task Force for Poverty Elimination and partners are launching a podcast on poverty which will feature a panel discussion to examine assumptions about its causes.
 
News from Beyond the Network:  
 Upcoming Webinars:  
Remember to visit our CEP homepage regularly for a complete list of new events and to join our Communities Ending Poverty (private) Facebook group. Post your questions, challenges, and successes, and share your community solutions and experiences.
 
BC Community of Practice - please encourage community partners and members of your table to register for the BC CoP. The calls take place on the third Tuesday of every second month at 11 am PT. Calls are recorded and can be shared afterwards. In July, we will be exploring how social procurement can be linked to community-wide social objectives like food security and social inclusion. In September, we'll be hosting a discussion on the intersection of climate change and equity.

*Please note that we encourage communities to have more than one primary convenor - if there are any partners that would like to be more deeply engaged with us, please let me know & have them reach out to connect. In the meantime, we encourage partners to sign up for our newsletter so they can hear directly from us regarding learning opportunities (sent out bimonthly). 

*Remember that as a member, you have access to 3 free seats in our Ending Poverty Pathways online course. This is a wonderful opportunity to bring new partners at the table up to speed with best practices from across Canada. Participants can do the course at their own pace, and we welcome questions at any time in addition to hosting regular 'office hours' to answer questions that arise.

Guest Speaker(s): Darren Dodge S/Sgt., Detachment Commander, Williams Lake RCMP
  • Originally from Saskatchewan, he transferred from his seven-year role in Quesnel to his new role here in December 2021
  • An acting non-commissioned officer (NCO) in Williams Lake for the last few years
  • Working to build comfort in the community
  • There have been changes due to the opioid and mental health crisis, with an inordinate amount of time spent with people on mental health, seeing a few people almost daily
  • In Quesnel, there was not enough time for officers to dedicate to mental health calls
  • Initiated a program where an officer and a psychiatric nurse meet high-risk individuals where they are, proactively, approx. two days/week. Seeing approx. 10-15 “highflyers” regularly to ensure meds are taken and medical care provided when needed.
  • Mental health targeted calls decreased when dealing with the same people – less stress
  • Not sure police are the ones to call in response to mental health concerns, but they are often the first called
  • Society needs to acknowledge the need for increased mental health services.
  • There is a challenge with shortages in HR
  • Working to have a system in place in Williams Lake to meet people before a crisis
  • He was the founder of the situation table in Quesnel after the WL table started.
    • Not here to arrest people but provide a wrap-around services
  • Happy to see the food hub, important for those in crisis to connect with local services
  • Happy to be in Williams Lake, great encouragement, and involvement in community meetings
Questions, Answers, Comments:
  • Larry: Nice to see the police force being proactive
  • Sherry: Thank you! Do you have any guidance for downtown areas about funding and cleaning up needles, stolen, property, and others? Darren: They have a clean team in Quesnel, where individuals living in shelters receive pay to clean up the downtown area. Contact Tanya Turner, Director of Planning for the City for more information on it. Krista: The harm reduction team, Laurel White, has needle bins placed around the city. CAT or BCG must clean up as the city will not. Sherry: This is more of a concern around stolen items and others Darren: Does the City clean up? Krista: The City will clean anything not dangerous. Sherry: I call the RCMP first then clean up myself. Carla: CMHA may have a team. Anne: Jubilee House may have a team. Sherry: CLBC may as well. Sheila: Love the idea of a clean team – people in need helping people in need.
*Shannon Thom chaired the meeting from this point
