    Residents from this ward shared the following ideas to help eliminate poverty from their community in 2021:
    • Educate residents about how they can help the community more and get involved
    • More community organizations to provide necessities like basic needs support, as people have to travel long distances by transit to access resources
    • More justice services available within the ward
    • Improve access to culturally-appropriate supports, as there are not many in the community
    • Educate the community about the experiences of those facing poverty
    • More opportunities to participate in ESL learning and digital/computer literacy support
    • More mental health and addictions services that are easily accessible and affordable
