*Combating poverty, deprivation and exclusion is not a matter of charity,
and it does not depend on how rich a country is.  By tackling poverty as a
matter of human rights obligation, the world will have a better chance of
abolishing this scourge in our lifetime.  Poverty eradication is an
achievable goal.*

*Louise Arbour, former Supreme Court of Canada Justice and former UN High
Commissioner for Human Rights, on the occasion of International Human Rights
Day 2006**

*A Workshop for Community Service Organizations, career councillors,
teachers & parents associations*
  Assisting Canadians with Questions and Challenges Related to Money and
Work


Resources, Information, Web sites, and Ongoing Support

* *

   - *There are thousands of community service agencies in Canada working to
   assist Canadians with their problems, challenges, and opportunities.*

* *

   - *And there are tens of thousands of Canadians connecting with these
   organizations on a daily basis, Canadians who are dealing with issues
   related to debt, employment, benefits, abuse, taxes, banking,
   cheque-cashing, and so on.*

* *

   - *The purpose of this workshop is to provide information and resources
   to those who are in a position to assist Canadians with money and work
   issues and questions but who lack the background and knowledge to provide
   such assistance with confidence – or who wish to have up-to-date information
   and resources at their fingertips.*

* *

   - *The workshop is being organized by the Canadian Foundation for
   Economic Education (CFEE), a charitable, non-profit, non-partisan
   organization working to help Canadians to build successful futures. This
   series of workshops are supported by funding from the Government of Canada
   through Human Resources and Social Development Canada (HRSDC).*

* *

   - *There is no cost to attend the workshop, and no one will try to sell
   you any kind of product. Our only goal is to support and assist community
   organizations in their work. All resources and access to the web sites are
   free of charge.*

* *

   materials including the following resources:*
