Make poverty history!
Participate in the BC Conference
Friday evening, October 28 & Saturday, October 29
In celebration of their twentieth anniversary, CoDevelopment Canada is organizing a two day conference as part of the national Make Poverty History Campaign. The goals of the Canadian campaign are straightforward:
- More and better aid
- Trade justice
- Cancel the debt
- End child poverty in Canada
The vision behind the conference is to bring together committed citizens to turn this call for policy change into action. The conference will produce concrete policy recommendations to eradicate poverty at home and abroad. Conference participants will include representatives from trade unions, community and student's groups, government, and other individuals working on social justice issues locally and globally.
HSA will be providing financial support to members who are interested in attending this conference, on the recommendation of the Committee for Equality and Social Action.
Funding is available for registration, childcare, transportation, meals, and up to one day's wage loss, associated with attendance at the conference.
