community belonging: a way to end poverty in canada
How can community belonging help to reduce poverty 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.
Communities Ending Poverty members bring government, business, non-profit, and lived/living experience champions together. With Tamarack, they raise community awareness, develop innovations, and shift policies and systems toward levelling inequities and ending poverty.
