Halton Poverty Roundtable business breakfast The Halton Poverty Roundtable will hold a business breakfast event titled Driving Community Investment Wednesday, Oct. 30 at the DeGroote School of Business, 4350 South Service Rd., in Burlington. The 7:30-10 a.m. breakfast will feature speakers Hugh Segal, senator for Kingston Frontenac-Leeds, and Mark Chamberlain, Trivaris LTD president and CEO. Segal was appointed to the senate in 2005. On his website (www.hughsegal.ca), Segal lists poverty as his primary concern. He has lectured on the need for Canada to adopt a new national approach to tackling poverty, arguing its costs and consequences are much larger than direct spending on social programs. He also has been a long-time proponent of establishing a Guaranteed Annual Income. Chamberlain has pioneered such initiatives as Option for Homes, a non-profit group providing quality, affordable housing in Halton and Hamilton to families who would otherwise not be able to afford home ownership. The event will examine the challenge of poverty and the opportunities companies have to provide strategic input, innovative solutions and create lasting community partnerships. More than 10,000 families live below the poverty line in Halton. There is a $35 fee to attend the event, which includes a hot breakfast. 13 | Thursday, October 24, 2013 | OAKVILLE BEAVER | www.insideHALTON.com FUN it's SCARY!
