Canada is a prosperous country, yet in 2015 roughly one in eight Canadians lived in poverty. The vision of Opportunity for All – Canada’s First Poverty Reduction Strategy is a Canada without poverty, because we all suffer when our fellow citizens are left behind.

When people are able to meet their most basic needs and can achieve a modest standard of living in their communities, they also contribute to a strong, growing economy.
