Have you experienced living in poverty?
Are you a parent, or guardian?
Are you interested in helping to end child and family poverty in Ontario?

Ontario Campaign 2000 is creating a Parent Advisory Committee to help guide the Coalition in ending child and family poverty in the province and is looking for parent and/or guardian volunteers from across the province to join the committee.

We are looking for parent advocates to create an ongoing space for self-advocacy and involvement and assist with campaign ideas and events. Ontario Campaign 2000 recognizes that many parents across the province have contributed to their families and communities in various ways and have utilized their strengths, strong voices, and ideas in advocacy work to end child and family poverty.

It is our hope that the Parent Advisory Committee will assist and guide Ontario Campaign 2000 in advocating for concrete changes to end child and family poverty in Ontario.

Ontario’s most vulnerable children will receive a gift from the province this Canada Day. Starting tomorrow, children and families in Ontario will see a significant boost in their incomes, as the provincial government confirmed that children who live in families on social assistance will receive the full benefit of the new Canada Child Benefit (CCB). Ontario Campaign 2000 commends this move by the provincial government and believes this is an important step forward to lift families on social assistance out of poverty and end child poverty in Ontario.
