Strategies to Eliminate Poverty / PFS

Did you know Saskatchewan is one of the few provinces that doesn't have a provincial poverty plan? Come join the conversation next Tuesday. The goal of this event is to get perspectives from folks who live in Saskatoon on poverty issues that will be added to voices from communities around the province. Our hope is to encourage a collaboration between government and community in developing a Saskatchewan Poverty Elimination Plan.

Hands Across the Bridge, 2011

Hands Across the Bridge was amazing this year. Though we didn't entirely manage to connect the city across the Broadway Bridge, we did span hand in hand from shore to shore. Thank you so much to the amazing energy being generated by Occupy Saskatoon and of course much love to those who come event after event, year after year to keep the voices of this city's marginalized population from being lost. Let's keep the moral and human rights perspective forefront as we go into this election. Let's make sure that those who live well in our society replenish opportunity in their wake. Let's err on the side of humanism rather than only heartless economic efficiency. All of this too is in our nature. Let's do better.
