End Poverty Edmonton
The EndPoverty Edmonton Task Force is composed of 22 leaders and community stakeholders and chaired by Mayor Don Iveson and Bishop Jane Alexander.
Launched in March 2014, it aims to advance a vision of shared prosperity for all and create a city where every Edmontonian has an equal opportunity to live, work, participate and thrive.
This initiative is building on a legacy of work in our city and province around finding innovative solutions to poverty. In particular, EndPoverty Edmonton is founded on the work of the City’s 2012/13 Steering Committee to Eliminate Poverty, the Poverty Reduction Strategy of the Alberta Government and the work of the United Way Capital Region. This reflects our belief that building a community where everyone prospers means we all need to work together.
EndPoverty Edmonton task force members include many perspectives from the business sector, academia, faith and social services, health care and the Government of Alberta.
