Through education and advocacy, Poverty Free Halton’s non-partisan volunteer committee works to highlight the issues of poverty in the region and offer solutions to all levels of government. We believe that the solutions to poverty are within grasp, we just need the political will to obtain them. Some of our specific work includes:
- Promoting campaigns such as Make Poverty History
- Making delegations to local and regional government on key social issues;
- Providing the community with high quality education opportunities by organizing speakers on important social issues;
- Educating residents about the positions of their local candidates during local, provincial and federal elections.
