# [WEBINAR | Findings from Ontario's Basic Income Experience](https://www.tamarackcommunity.ca/library/findings-from-southern-ontarios-basic-income-experience)

 Written by [Vibrant Communities](https://www.tamarackcommunity.ca/library/author/vibrant-communities-canada) | April 14, 2020

In March 2020, McMaster University published a study on the results of Ontario's Basic Income Pilot project which was prematurely cancelled. The study discusses the effects that a Basic Income had on recipients in Hamilton, Brantford, and Brant County.

In this webinar, Tom Cooper, Wayne Lewchuk and Laura Cattari discussed this report, and what the findings mean in our current global context.
