On June 22, 75 community organizations and local leaders from across York Region met online to talk about how we reimagine Ontario after the recovery.
We learned a lot during the pandemic, about the risks to vulnerable and marginalized people, about how fragile some of our essential systems are, but also about how we can do better. We talked about how to build on initiatives like the CERB, housing programs, employment supports and food security initiatives that started during the pandemic. And we summarized it in the document attached.
We are hosting 5 more meetings, each on a key issue covered in the paper attached. We will use those meetings to flesh out ideas on housing, income supports, decent work, food security and the future role of the nonprofit sector.
