EndPovertyEdmonton is a community initiative working towards prosperity for all through advancing reconciliation, the elimination of racism, livable incomes, affordable housing, accessible and affordable transit, affordable and quality child care, and access to mental health services and addiction supports. Together, we can change the conversation on poverty and ensure every Edmontonian has the opportunity to thrive.

Vibrant Communities Calgary and EndPovertyEdmonton believe the Alberta government plays a pivotal role in ensuring public safety, wellbeing, and in creating the right environment for civil society to adequately do its job. While we realize these are extraordinary times, Alberta’s debt and increasing health care costs are long standing challenges. When the causes of health care and opportunities for savings are closely examined, the evidence points overwhelmingly to various issues related to poverty. We understand and respect the difficult choices your government has had to make during an extremely challenging year, and we believe this submission presents a path forward towards modernizing our policies for the Alberta of today, helping create a strong foundation for the future.

Leger was contracted by EndPovertyEdmonton in collaboration with Vibrant Communities Calgary to conduct an online survey with Albertans to assess awareness, behaviours, attitudes, lifestyles and socio-demographics in regards to ‘Basic Income’.

The results of this research will help EndPovertyEdmonton and Vibrant Communities Calgary with future communications.
