Client Testimonial:

"The Poverty Reduction Strategy Office (PRSO) engaged CP Planning and Method Collective on a series of strategic community consultations throughout 2022 and 2023 to inform the Poverty Reduction Strategy 3rd Term Update (2023-2026). Through a detailed and methodical approach, CP Planning and Method Collective delivered a series of in-depth consultations with non-profits, front-line workers, Indigenous leaders, and city departments. Their data-driven, strategic and solutions-focused approach supported the PRSO to consider the system at large and meaningfully engage those working in poverty reduction or directly impacted by it. 

The feedback provided by key stakeholders informed the actionable steps included in the Strategy’s 3rd Term Update and serve to address the most pressing issues for the city’s residents." - City of Toronto, Poverty Reduction Office
