Minimum Wages: are they fair wages?

‘There are workers whose home is a shelter, whose grocery store is the food bank.’ The question of minimum wages has been an outstanding issue across the world irrespective of a country’s economic status.

The Face of the Cuts Community Dialogue Proceedings

On September 25th the Conservative Government announced budgetary cuts of $1 billion to be implemented over the next two years to initiatives no longer considered priorities. The Social Planning Council is concerned about this direction as it may represent a direction towards further crippling of the non-profit sector which is already under stress. Federal funding is needed to set a national direction or standards on a certain issue and to leverage other resource (funding and volunteer) support for the sector as a whole. The SPC began to mobilize public sentiment by surveying the non-profit sector in Cambridge and North Dumfries on the impact of these cuts and by hosting a community forum on December 1st to further dialogue on the local impact and what action is needed. The proceedings of that event are now available.

Face of the Cuts was the first in a series of Dialogue sessions with the local nonprofit sector on current issues. This is part of our effort to explore the development of a network to mobilize the local nonprofit sector. To initiate this process, we have secured funding from the Ontario Trillium Foundation to host four community dialogues.

Rural

Summary Report of the North Dumfries Community Visioning Day and Service Provider Workshop

With more people moving out of cities and into rural areas than ever before, the face of rural Ontario has been changing1 and the Township of North Dumfries is no exception.

Challenged by significant population growth that is expected to continue, it seems timely to develop a long-term vision for programs and services in the Township.

To that end, representatives from several local non-profit organizations recently came together as a task force to plan and host two events: a Community Visioning Day and a Planning Workshop for service providers and policy makers.

The Community Visioning Day was held on November 15, 2005 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at St. Brigid School in Ayr. This event, facilitated by internationally known consultant and educator David Hasbury, focused on the development of future community goals.

The ideas generated during the Community Visioning Day were presented at a workshop for service providers held on November 16, 2005 from 9:00 am to 11:00 am at the Fire Hall in Ayr.

Miscellaneous

In a Different Voice

The notion that what is good for a man is equally good for a woman has permeated the thinking and informed the actions of policy makers virtually since the beginning of time. Increasingly, however, society is coming to realize that this presumption of sameness is not only inaccurate, but also ill-advised. By applying a gender ‘lens’ to community survey data this paper offers insights into how gender shapes the perceptions of Cambridge residents.
