So I was interested in what the [Angus Reid Institute’s](http://angusreid.org/) recent study of poverty, which was released in two parts this summer, revealed about Canadians’ views on poverty. The first part of the study defined and quantified poverty in Canada by asking people whether and [how often they have struggled economically](http://angusreid.org/poverty-in-canada/). The study created four segments of the population based on the responses: [Read More](https://www.tamarackcommunity.ca/latest/poverty-in-canada-experiences-and-perceptions?hsLang=en-us) [![](https://www.tamarackcommunity.ca/hubfs/Screen%20Shot%202018-07-23%20at%2012.08.33%20PM-355633-edited.png) ](https://www.tamarackcommunity.ca/latest/what-we-heard-about-poverty-in-bc?hsLang=en-us) ### [What We Heard About Poverty in B.C.](https://www.tamarackcommunity.ca/latest/what-we-heard-about-poverty-in-bc?hsLang=en-us) Posted by [Adam Vasey](https://www.tamarackcommunity.ca/latest/author/adam-vasey) on July 23, 2018 The Government of British Columbia’s recent release of What We Heard About Poverty in B.C. means the province is one step closer to having a poverty reduction strategy. The Report reflects public input, gathered between October 2017 and March 2018, that will shape the provincial strategy. Some of the common themes are summarized below.

I don’t think I fully anticipated how challenging this would be. I thought I had a pretty good understanding of the Vibrant Communities – Cities Reducing Poverty (VC – CRP) network, having been a member for several years while I was director of the Windsor-Essex poverty reduction strategy. Well, it turns out there’s quite a big difference between having a general understanding of the network and trying to capture its overall impact on poverty reduction in Canada.
