<p style="direction:ltr;font-size:14px;line-height:1.4em;color:#444;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;margin:0 0 1em">As you may know, the federal government is looking at developing a Poverty Reduction Strategy in the near future and is consulting people about what that would look like. They are doing that primarily via an on-line survey but there is also an option of an in-person consultation. They have contracted the <span style="color:#ff0000">Tamarack Institute to get consultations done in up to 30 communities across Canada through their Vibrant Communities - Cities Reducing Poverty initiative which Ottawa is part of with the OPRN as lead.</span></p>
<h3 style="margin:.4em 0 .3em;font-size:1.6em">What would make a difference in our community? What do we need to improve? What do we need to get rid of? What could the feds do to reduce poverty?</h3>

They will be at the Overbrook Community Centre, 33 Quill St, Ottawa.</p>
