Kenora and Thunder Bay among the district services boards returning from lobbying trip to Ottawa.
A trip to the nation's capital was meant to give a better snapshot of realities for social service providers in northern Ontario.
Wall said part of the trip to advocate for the Northern Ontario included sharing the reality that sometimes isn’t captured by Statistics Canada or other data from which federal programs get their information. He said incomplete information means the need isn't communicated or isn't known, and northern and rural communities miss out.
Wall said part of the effort for this trip was demonstrating the need for support and putting a plan forward, and not just saying here are issues or problems.“We don't always need to look to other levels of government to come and show us how things need to be done. We know what needs to be done. We just need the appropriate resources in comparison to large urban centres in Canada to be able to do the same.
