27 Sep 2018

We would like to acknowledge that the land on which this work was carried out is the traditional and unceded territories of the Huron-Wendat, Anishinabek Nation, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, the Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation, and the Métis Nation, and is home to Indigenous people of many nations. [...] Key Findings 1) Child poverty affects families in every single ward in Toronto 2) The highest rates of child poverty are among Indigenous, racialized and newcomer families 3) The city of Toronto has higher rates of child poverty than the Toronto region for all groups of children 1) Child Poverty Affects Families in Every Single Ward in Toronto • Across the city, more than 125,000 children (26.3%) [...] In the midst of the 2018 municipal election, the Government of Ontario imposed a 25-ward structure on the City of Toronto, replacing the city’s recently adopted 47-ward structure. [...] The City of Toronto has higher rates of child poverty than the Toronto region (based on Census Metropolitan Area) for all groups, reinforcing the City of Toronto’s dubious title of child poverty capital (see appendix for map of Toronto Census Metropolitan Area, GTA and area municipalities). [...] The average number of trips varies widely from less than 40 in Etobicoke and most of North York and Scarborough to over 60 in Willowdale and throughout the old city of Toronto, with the highest averages of 99 and 109 in the downtown core.
