In this study, we investigated the correlation between area of residence and
employment opportunities in a disadvantaged community: Lord Selkirk Park in
Winnipeg.
We concluded that state-led demand side strategies aimed at employment
generation may contribute to a higher level of economically active
residents, as well as citizen participation in the local community. There is
substantial potential for increased economic value of targeting employment
opportunities to willing job-seeking residents in this community.
The CCPA’s bold vision and creative solutions help us imagine better futures for all. Its efforts to build bridges between labour, industry, and civil society and mentor young activists lay the foundation for realizing those provocative futures. I consider my support for the CCPA an investment in a better future for British Columbia.
