MONTHLY NEWSLETTER


September 2023

With assistance from the consulting firm, StrategyCorp Inc., Pathway to Potential (P2P) is undergoing a strategy renewal to update its 9-Point Social Investment Plan. The goals of the strategy renewal are to understand the needs of the Windsor-Essex community and identify P2P’s priorities for the next four years.


We would like to hear from residents regarding poverty issues within the Region, the challenges and barriers residents are facing, and how the City of Windsor and County of Essex can help through the Pathway to Potential framework.


Windsor-Essex residents are invited to provide their input by participating in one of the P2P Strategy Renewal Surveys. There are two survey streams:


  1. Service Provider Survey: This is for individuals who volunteer and/or work within organizations that provide services to address poverty related issues and help reduce poverty within the Windsor-Essex region.
  2. Community Survey: This is for individuals who have lived experiences or have someone close to them with lived experiences with regard to poverty.
