Poverty in our city affects us all. The City of Ottawa has a responsibility for and a leadership role in poverty reduction. As the nation’s capital, the City of Ottawa is in a unique position to be a role model in breaking down the myths about poverty and taking action to reduce it. While the entire community has a responsibility to reduce poverty, the Poverty Reduction Strategy Phase I focuses on the role of the City together with community partners. It calls for the reinvestment of future savings in social infrastructure1 and poverty reduction in order to sustain a healthy, inclusive and safe city where all people can reach their full potential. As well, it calls for a multi‐phase approach to poverty reduction. For the longer term, the Steering Committee envisions the responsibility for poverty reduction expanding more broadly to the community at large.
