Hi there,

This guide articulates how Communities Ending Poverty members are developing comprehensive and community-wide plans and are shifting systems and policies. It also highlights how federal, provincial and territorial governments are rolling out large-scale benefits. The guide features three transformational Ending Poverty ideas that are backed by significant Canadian evidence: Basic Income, Quebec’s $5/day childcare model, and Built for Zero Canada.

Building Collective Impact Capacity | Why Now?

By: Sylvia Cheuy

With nearly 20 years of experience helping organizations navigate the Collective Impact framework, Tamarack has assisted collaboratives at all phases of maturity. Tamarack's upcoming Foundations of Collective Impact Online Course is specifically focused on collaboratives very early in maturity. If your Collective Impact Initiative has just begun, or if it's a more mature Collective Impact initiative looking to increase the capacity of other organizations within your collaborative, this online learning opportunity is for you.

For this year’s Seeing Youth Futures Photo Contest, CBYF created a 3D virtual gallery that featured 10 exceptional photos. The virtual gallery allows participants to “walk” through the space and interact with each of the photos. This year we are excited to offer the virtual experience in both English and French.

The intention of Community Based Youth Features youth leaders was to utilize the online exhibit as a platform to facilitate a discussion surrounding youth prosperity. We encourage everyone to tour the gallery and provide their thoughts on what youth prosperity looks like in the comment section.
