Time For Action: Working Together To End Poverty In Alberta 
Nov 2010

The Edmonton Social Planning Council and Public Interest Alberta released a new report "Time For Action: that shows 53,000 Alberta children lived below Statistics Canada's low-income cut-off (after-tax) in 2008, and that number is probably higher today due to the effects of the recession on our economy.

The report traces economic consequences of living in poverty in Alberta, offers some recommendations and directions to move forward, and scans poverty-reduction strategies in other Canadian provinces and territories.

The following link is for the national Campaign 2000's "2010 Report Card on Child and Family Poverty in Canada: 1989-2010".
