Regarding the multiple but connected consultations on poverty reduction, Poverty Free Kitchener-Waterloo raises the importance of integrated systems and different Ministries working together. Equally, there are more meaningful and more accessible ways the government can work on poverty reduction with local partners across the province. The community effort in creating a local framework for measuring successful poverty reduction outcomes includes a diversity of local stakeholders and is making sure that there is an ongoing and meaningful input beyond occasional consultations.
