In May 1997 over two hundred poor people came together at the first Western Canada Poor People's Conference in Edmonton to discover the magnitude of the problem, its causes and consequences, and possible solutions. This three day event was designed to provide insights to the social and individual causes of poverty, to help build self-esteem and overcome barriers, to develop political awareness and action groups, and to pursue strength through organization and emotional, spiritual and economic personal development. Out of this conference came a decision that, in Edmonton, we needed to continue this process, hence, Poverty in Action was born.
