From Poverty to Possibility

We’re helping to meet the basic needs of our community’s most vulnerable people, giving every
local community member the opportunity to realize a better future. We are moving people from
Poverty to Possibility by funding programs that provides supports for people who need help like
counseling, a dry, warm place to sleep and shower, have meals delivered, teach people to shop
and cook and give them skills they need to get a job.

Strong Communities

In working for the overall well-being of community members, we’re building the positive
environments and social capacity for caring, safe neighbourhoods. We are funding programs to
build strong communities by funding programs that support people with disabilities, help people
change after getting in trouble with the law, and make Cape Breton a great place to live, work and
raise a family.
