The report released today by the Provincial Social Assistance Review Committee does not help deal with people's urgent needs today! Further review and consultation will be helpful for longer term solutions. The Social Planning Network of Ontario and various partners across the Province working on Putting Food in the Budget want a serious response to the urgent needs experienced by many in our local community. A Media Release is on the SPNO and Poverty Watch Ontario websites now. For local information please contact Trudy Beaulne at spckw@waterlooregion.org or (519) 579-1096 ext 3006
