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.

Staff of the regional government have prepared a report including options for adopting a living wage policy and are welcoming input at a public meeting in September, 2009. Opportunities Waterloo Region has worked with regional staff on the issue for a number of years. Access the report here.
