The Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives has been, and continues to be, profoundly important to Canadian democracy…. It is virtually unique in its breadth of ideas and its depth of research.

The Carol Shields Auditorium was filled to capacity last night when CCPA-Manitoba hosted the Winnipeg premiere of Poor No More, a film featuring Mary Walsh. The movie was followed by a short presentation with a local perspective from CCPA-MB director, Shauna MacKinnon and Prof. Gregg Olsen presented comparative data of 2 Nordic and 2 Anglo countries. Both were very interesting and informative. The evening ended with the presentation of the Joe Zuken Activist Award to Tom Simms, a long-time community activist who recently became the coordinator of the Premier's Advisory Council on Education, Poverty and Citizenship--- so everything fit together very well! Another great event by CCPA-Manitoba!
