Opportunities Waterloo Region’s aspiration is to be “A Community of Opportunity”. We ground our work in a Sustainable Livelihoods Approach that concentrates on building five kinds of assets: human, social, physical, personal and financial. We play three key roles – network facilitator, policy research and communications strategy lead, and project manager. We focus on increasing awareness of low income voices, on social policy change, systems change and research, on increasing employment opportunities for people experiencing challenges to employment and on shifting public attitudes to people living in poverty.

Getting Out the Vote
Opportunities Waterloo Region has a new website that will make it easy for voters, especially low-income voters, to find out how and, more importantly, why they should vote in the upcoming municipal election. Waterloo Region Votes gathers links to election related events and news in one easy-to-find spot and uses Google Maps technology to help users identify who is running in their area.
