400 Years To End Child Poverty Unacceptable

Poverty in Canada has risen for the 3rd straight year in a row, meaning there are 30,000 more kids experiencing poverty across Canada (Campaign 2000 National Report). In Manitoba, we are looking at 85,790 children and their families who did not have enough to meet even the most basic needs” (Campaign 2000 Manitoba Report). In simple terms, this means that 1 in 4 kids in Manitoba and 1 in 10 across Canada are living in poverty.
