How can community belonging help to reduce poverty in Canada?
In the vast and culturally rich landscape of Canada, two hidden gems in our fight against poverty are the power of community and our sense of belonging. Poverty isn't just about financial security; it is deeply intertwined within our social fabric. By understanding the social aspects of poverty and the transformative impact of feeling like you belong, we can pave the way towards a better future for everyone who lives in Canada.
In this article, Tamarack’s Heather Keam explores how belonging is a social pathway to ending poverty in Canada. She digs into micro, meso, and macro belonging, social capital, belonging’s economic impact, and more. Join us in calling on the Canadian government for a national belonging strategy!
