Muskoka Community Land Trust Presents at Rethink Poverty 2023

As Brian Shelley, Chief Executive and Philanthropy Officer of United Way Simcoe-Muskoka said in his opening remarks: “Good enough isn’t good enough” when it comes to truly ending poverty.

During the 2023 Rethink Poverty event, organized by United Way Simcoe-Muskoka, Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit, Simcoe-Muskoka Skill Force, and Simcoe County Poverty Reduction Task Group, community organizations including the Muskoka Community Land Trust, Elizabeth Fry Society, Living Wage Ontario, and Information Orillia came together under the theme of “taking the work from talk to action”.
