We will get there by ensuring that:

• All Calgarians live in a strong, supportive and inclusive community.
• All Calgarians have sufficient income and assets needed to thrive.
• All Indigenous People are equal participants in Calgary’s future

How will we know we’ve achieved our goals, by arriving at the following priority outcomes:

• By 2023, 95% of all people living in Calgary are at or above Statistics Canada’s Low-Income Cut-off (LICO) rates
• By 2023, 90% of all people living in Calgary are at or above 125% of Statistics Canada’s Low-Income Cut-off (LICO) rates
• By 2018, Calgarians consider reducing poverty to be a high priority.

LICO (Statistics Canada’s Low-Income Cut-off) is the income threshold below which a family devotes a larger share of its income on the necessities of food, shelter and clothing than the average family. It is commonly referred to as the poverty line.
