On February 2nd, 2012 the Commission for the Review of Social Assistance in Ontario released Discussion Paper 2: Approaches for Reform. This paper advances dialogue with Ontarians which began in June 2011 with the release of Discussion Paper: Issues and Ideas, and continued over the summer and fall through community conversations. The Commission is requesting feedback on the options presented in Discussion Paper 2 by March 16th, 2012.

In an effort to engage with people and organizations with diverse perspectives on social assistance, the Guelph & Wellington Task Force for Poverty Elimination, with the support of other community partners, would like to invite groups and organizations, including staff, volunteers and clients, to consider providing feedback by taking advantage of one or more of the following options:

1. Take an online survey

2. Facilitate your own consultation session

3. Host a consultation session with our support

More information on the three options is available HERE.

If you have any questions, please contact Randalin Ellery, Coordinator, Guelph & Wellington Task Force for Poverty Elimination, by phone 519-821-0571 x29 or email [email protected].
