flag Grey-Bruce anti-poverty advocates warn Canada’s 2030 poverty reduction goal is at risk due to rising insecurity, inequality, and inadequate support.

flag Anti-poverty advocates in Grey-Bruce are warning that Canada’s 2030 goal to cut poverty in half is at risk, citing rising food insecurity, homelessness, and income inequality. flag Despite a high living wage of $23.05 in the region, low wages and a 31.3% gender pay gap leave many workers unable to afford basic needs. flag Demand for emergency services has surged, with food banks and shelters overwhelmed. flag One in five Canadian children and over 1.5 million people with disabilities live in poverty, with disparities especially high among Indigenous, racialized, and single-parent families. flag Advocates say current programs are underfunded and hard to access, calling for urgent, coordinated government action to reverse the trend.
