B.C. poverty reduction strategy clears first hurdle

Report on the Budget 2014 Consultation cover page

A short while back, the Richmond Poverty Response Committee prepared a submission to the provincial government recommending an introduction for a poverty reduction strategy. We are happy to announce it will be part of the consultation report going to cabinet and the finance committee for consideration in preparing B.C Budget 2015.

See page 38 of the report for the recommendations.
