There is still a long road ahead but things are coming together in building a poverty reduction plan for the province— About fifty Saint Johner’s turning out to the second public dialogue session held in the city last night, co chair of the project Gerry Pond tells CHSJ News he is still in a listening mode but there are some issues which keep coming up:
This marks the fourteenth meeting, with one left to go in Fredericton– the three phase initiative will next hold round table discussions with experts on issues of poverty, they will discuss proposals put forth in the public sessions. Finally, a forum will be held to establish the Poverty Reduction Plan. If you missed your chance to attend a dialogue session you can still participate, to get involved with the initiative visit gnb.ca/poverty
