The issues in the City of Ottawa, where our Ministries are based, are not limited to one place but are experienced in many ways across the Province of Ontario. “You shall open wide your hand to your brother, to the needy and to the poor, in your land”
(Deuteronomy 15:11) With a Provincial election coming June 7th, you are encouraged to learn more about the issues of homelessness and poverty, engage in dialogue about them and contribute what you can to “open wide your hand.” Homelessness can be prevented and resolved. We need political will to do it; concerted action by governments, community agencies and individual citizens; and sufficient resources to invest in meaningful solutions. What can you do? - Learn more about the issues
- Discuss issues with candidates
- Talk to people
- Vote!
