Frontline workers in the fight against poverty in Saint John are joyous at news Saint John will be one of the cities used as a case study on poverty reduction.
Tony Dickinson of O.N.E. Change tells us he thinks the Port City can show the rest of the country how valuable community input is.
He says people will see the hard work of being right down on the ground with folks as well as the higher level stuff of looking for policy change.
Dickinson says this assessment will be a rallying cry for people to come together and it will provide some valuable information.
