Overcoming Poverty Together: The New Brunswick Economic and Social Inclusion Plan, 2014-2019
Overcoming Poverty Together: The New Brunswick Economic and Social Inclusion Plan, 2014-2019, builds on the momentum of New Brunswick’s initial economic and social inclusion plan launched in 2009. It serves as a roadmap for the province to move towards economic and social inclusion for all. The plan is based on information gathered during the Overcoming Poverty Together 2 (OPT2) public engagement. This process provided an opportunity for New Brunswickers to come together to discuss issues surrounding economic and social inclusion. These discussions led to a five-year action plan for the province to pursue. It is not a “how to” plan but, rather, a “what can be done collectively” plan to reduce poverty and improve the quality of life for all people living in our province. This is what gives the plan its uniqueness.
