Public Awareness

Public awareness is a crucial component of all the work done by Pathway to Potential. It is essential that P2P informs the community of the benefits of addressing poverty issues to build support for Windsor-Essex’s Poverty Reduction strategy. The reports, links, and articles highlight the important work that is being done to reduce poverty in Windsor-Essex.

We don’t function as an island though – we work closely with a number of organizations, businesses and political movements to ensure that the work we do echoes throughout the community.

Testimonials

“Never being able to have a meaningful relationship – something always falls short”
Tim Godfree

“Something that should be a thing of the past.”
Linda Lyons

“Poverty means to me that someone has to struggle in order to get things that they need. Just simple things like food, housing, clothing, taking care of themselves and maybe their family.”
Lillian Gallant

“If we instigate the change, we’re telling our children that there is another way and we don’t have to be so segregated.”
Anon

“We’re not speaking out only for ourselves, but we’re trying to make a change for everybody. Not only ourselves. I believe if we are heard and we make the change that a lot of people will benefit.”
Chantal McEldowney

“Poverty means to me that there’s not enough money to go for everything you need to go for like food and basic shelter. When a person has to pay more for any one of them that means they will not be able to buy the things they need for their family or themselves, like certain things they will go without. They may go without a telephone or email. If they want to try to look for a job, it will be harder for them.”
Donna Labonte

“I was born and raised in poverty. I’m working my way to try and help others to get out of the same situation I was in. I hope in the future to be a leader in our community.”
