Great start to the week - kicking off the @AgricultureON @unitedwaygwd campaign. A great crowd who got to hear about their impact from our Rural Communities focus area - VON’s Meals on Wheels and Transportation program. Oh, and a bake sale! 😋

Please spread the word! Without a new home, the annual book sale can't happen. Volunteer-run @FriendsGPL have been supporting our new main library for years.

The 2024 federal budget is just around the corner. So what did the sector ask for? A nonprofit labour & volunteer strategy, adequate funding for the Canada Disability Benefit, funding for nonprofit housing, and lots more. See our full analysis: buff.ly/3P3VHDj

A partnership btw local government public agencies in #FortMcMurray has found bridge housing for people experiencing #homelessness through collaboration. Rather than turning to enforcement, @rmwoodbuffalo worked with residents to relocate them. loom.ly/9x1u90Q

Thank you for this motion @carlyklassen We spend so much time fundraising for and taking action on food security, homelessness and more, a guaranteed livable basic income is where we need to be focusing.
Council, mostly, calls for national guaranteed livable basic income guelphtoday.com:443/local-ne…
