I just want to draw your attention to the sidebar on the right side under our mission statement. These are links from Google news stories, using "poverty" and "BC" as search words. They are updated automatically - sometimes they change frequently but often they don't - depends what's in the news! For instance, once the Report on Child Poverty is released this Friday, there will probably be numerous similar articles about the report showing up there shortly afterwards.
Right now there is an interesting article on welfare rates by Robert Hart for the Terrace Standard, entitled "Policy shouldn't create Poverty". Unfortunately you can only see "guest comment" in the link in the sidebar as it only seems to show the first line of the article. They're worth browsing if you have some time and want to see how other communities are dealing with poverty issues.
