Building Stronger Communities

Building stronger and safer communities is one of the best ways to help low-income families enjoy a better quality of life. This strategy includes a series of initiatives designed to foster positive local initiatives. Highlights include:

• Investing in a Community Opportunities Fund to give local leaders support to co-ordinate community revitalization projects;
• Increasing funding for the Youth Opportunities Strategy to give kids in priority neighbourhoods more access to jobs and training;
• Funding the Provincial Rent Bank Program to provide temporary financial assistance to people facing possible eviction; and
• Introducing legislation relating to temporary help agencies and hiring new employment standards officers to help employees get the money they earn.
