 The Ministry of Children and Family Development has worked in collaboration with the Union of B.C. Municipalities, Healthy Communities Committee, to identify seven communities. A mix of Metro, Urban, Rural, and Remote, and these are Prince George, Cranbrook, Port Hardy, Surrey, New Westminster, Stewart, and Kamloops. These communities are going to be the first to pilot community poverty reduction strategies. Strategies that are going to recognize that families and communities have distinct needs and resources. We understand that we all need to come together and share our innovative ideas so that we can optimize existing resources to better meet the needs of families. Well, I think it's great that we're working in partnership with the government, with UBCM, and with other agencies and businesses on a poverty reduction strategy, because it's really what it takes. People need to work together. It's not any one person's or agency's responsibility. It's really critical that everybody brings their resources and their abilities to the table and work collaboratively, and that's how things get done and with the best result. This purposeful approach also demonstrates that we are looking for more than just a simple solution. We need depth of understanding for going to be able to significantly reduce child poverty. Again, UBCM is very pleased to be a partner in this project, and we look forward to contributing more as a member of that steering committee that the Minister has announced. And so the Prince George Chamber of Commerce welcomes this project announcement, and we are certainly enthusiastic to look for ways to build bridges and to be a resource to those involved in bringing this project to fruition. We see this as a way of meeting an end result that really can change the way communities and people help each other. So collaboration is key. And I believe that if we work together directly with families that we'll be able to identify unique needs, capitalize on strengths within the families, and help them design personalized plans out of poverty.
