"The COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated that significant poverty reduction is possible even under extreme economic disruptions. The federal PRS targets a 50% reduction in poverty by 2030, but emergency pandemic supports showed these goals could be achieved immediately."   #AFB2025

We're excited to announce the 2024 Living Wage Rate for Guelph-Wellington is $21.30/hr! There's no place in Ontario where a minimum wage job can cover basic expenses. A living wage reduces poverty and supports strong communities. Dive into the breakdown! tinyurl.com/hrm9n6w4
