INCOME INEQUALITY AND POVERTY
Canada’s official wealth is growing, but so is poverty; why do the rich keep getting richer and the poor keep getting poorer? From minimum wage to corporate power, learn about the roots of poverty and how it affects us in BC.
We explore practical ideas and realistic solutions for poverty elimination.
Learning Outcomes
- To learn and think critically about unequal distribution of wealth and resources, especially in a local/national context.
- To look at some concrete ways to work toward more equitable distribution.
Join us for a series of 3 FREE workshops for youth ages 13-24. Each workshop will include action planning and connect youth participants with services, resources and opportunities to get involved in their community.
