Publications
In addition to our annual national and provincial report cards on child and family poverty, Campaign 2000 releases research and reports to advance policy thinking and inspire action against child and family poverty in Canada. We also provide timely updates on what’s happening on the ground in each province and territory through our e-news bulletins.
Campaign 2000 participates in federal pre-budget consultations and provides written submissions annually. We also closely monitor important government policies and programs related to children and families and provide commentary and analysis through letter writing campaigns, petitions and face-to-face meetings with government and coalition partners.

The Case for Federal Leadership against Poverty
The maps below showing child poverty by riding highlight that child poverty is an issue in every federal riding. This is contrary to claims that it is not an issue in more affluent parts of the country. Wealthy ridings in wealthy cities are home to high numbers of low income children and families. This is the case in Toronto Centre, which is a riding mixed with wealthy and low-income neighborhoods. The child poverty rate there is a startling 37.8%.
