Public Service Alliance of Canada BC

Thanks to Nick Humphreys, BC Regional Council member, for forwarding us an update on two of the projects in BC funded by the Social Justice Fund.

The Victoria Street Newz has just published their 13^th issue: July 2006 (available soon on their website), which contains an excellent article about the PSAC’s support of Native land claims. Their mission is to provide a voice and income opportunities for economically marginalized and/or socially disadvantaged people in the greater Victoria area while at the same time offering employable skills training, increased self-esteem, confidence, and pride in accomplishments.

Also in Victoria, Liveable Income For Everyone is continuing their Community Education to Make Poverty History project which aims to increase poverty education and to create social solidarity in order to “Make Poverty History” with a universal Guaranteed Livable Income. They also are planning to make a presentation to an upcoming Area Council meeting. Click for a project update.
