Port Alberni left out of the BC government's poverty reduction strategy

[The Invisible Man]

THIS IS THE BC GOVERNMENT'S NEWS RELEASE that says "The Province and the Union of BC Municipalities have identified seven communities to participate in a pilot project where poverty-reduction strategies will target the unique needs of families struggling to get out of poverty in those communities."

Prince George, Cranbrook, Port Hardy, Surrey, New Westminster, Stewart and Kamloops have been identified as the first to pilot community poverty-reduction strategies. These communities were recommended by the UBCM to reflect a mix of metro, urban, rural and remote communities across B.C.

Maybe our time will come down the road? Maybe our needs are not as great as the communities that were chosen to partake in the project?

I think our strategy will be to ship them out to one of the above named cities.
