2 Goals:• To develop a strategy that addresses:
• The elimination of child poverty in Alberta in 5 years• The reduction of overall poverty in Alberta in 10 years
Our working definition of poverty:
“The exclusion or lack of resources, resiliency, capabilities, and choices necessary for the enjoyment of an adequate standard of life”
This definition moves beyond income to include concepts of quality of life, social inclusion, access to supports and services, and ability to accumulate and maintain assets.
