New Brunswickers to propose poverty reduction options (09/05/26)

FREDERICTON (CNB) – New Brunswickers will work together in June to propose priority actions to reduce poverty in the province.
This is the second phase of the provincewide poverty reduction process, Bringing the pieces together, a comprehensive public engagement initiative designed to give New Brunswickers the opportunity to get involved in reducing poverty. It involves three stages: a dialogue phase; a round-table phase; and a final-forum phase.
“During the first phase of the process, almost 2,500 New Brunswickers shared their views and ideas on the best ways to reduce poverty in our province,” said Social Development Minister Mary Schryer, co-chair of the initiative. “With this very valuable input, we can now proceed with the round-table phase, where a group of committed citizens from around the province will develop a list of options for actions that can be implemented to reduce poverty.”
