“We need the CCPA to remind us that our dreams of a decent, egalitarian society are reasonable — indeed that with a little work, they are practical. And I love that practicality, that protection of the dream of the possible.”

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!
