Poverty Report Highlighted At SACPA | November 3, 2022 | Micah Quinn | Bridge City News
A new report outlines the grim stats of child poverty here in our city. A report from the Social Health Equity Network of Lethbridge and Area says poverty remains a big issue in our city. In 2019, over 15 per cent of children and youth in our region were living in low income. Child poverty rates were highest for children living in single parent households, and Indigenous homes.
Sharon Yanicki, the spokesperson for SHENLA says this is a huge issue in our city that needs to be addressed. She also cited a Calgary report that said in 2012, the cost of poverty in Alberta was estimated to be between $7-9.5 billion per year. Adjusted for inflation, the cost of poverty in 2022 would now be between $8.4-11.4 billion per year.
