Saskatchewan is one of few provinces in Canada that does not have a formally adopted and detailed plan to tackle poverty.  During the International Week for the Elimination of Poverty (17 – 23 October) a new network called Poverty Free Saskatchewan released a discussion paper calling upon the provincial government to develop such a plan, in collaboration with people living in poverty and other community sectors. This paper is entitled “Let’s Do Something about Poverty” and can be found at https://www.povertyfreesask.ca/
