Item No. 12 – RCSAC Municipal Responses to Child and Youth Poverty Report

Deanna Ogle, representing the Living Wage for Families Campaign, spoke of child poverty in Metro Vancouver, noting that approximately 8,000 children are living in poverty in Richmond.  She recognized that although policy change at the provincial level would be the tipping point to ameliorate child poverty rates, municipalities can also play a role in reducing child poverty.  Ms. Ogle stated that by integrating child poverty into the City’s existing social strategies like the Affordable Housing Strategy, the Wellness Strategy, the Social Development Strategy and so forth, areas of concern can be identified in an effort to eliminate the issues.

Ms. Ogle then stated that policy advocacy by municipalities to senior levels of government is key and encouraged the City to work with its community organizations to get an in-depth understanding of poverty issues in Richmond.
