When it comes to the issue, Barry Galloway, the coordinator of Vibrant Communities Saint John, tells CHSJ news that people from all walks of life should get a say.
They split into groups to chat about the four main priorities of the poverty reduction strategy: neighborhood revitalization, children and youth, single parents and workforce participation. Galloway says the next step is to take the points made and create a document they can use in their efforts to reduce poverty in Saint John from 21% to 15% by 2015.
