Sixteen youth from two community-based organizations have been trained as photojournalists to tell the stories of what they like and don't like about their inner-city neighbourhoods.These young people's photos and accompanying narrative form the heart of CCPA-MB's 2013 State of the Inner City Report.
Graduating from high school is a rite of passage, but for students at risk, high school can be an oppressive and intimidating place. Programs like the Gordon Bell Senior Off Campus program (GBSOC) however, offer an alternative to the mainstream school system, allowing students to work at their own pace, away from the barriers they experience in the mainstream system.
To better understand these dynamics, the CCPA worked with five at risk students in the GBSOC program, and made a film about their experiences. Film by Carole O'Brien.
In 2012, the BC Ombudsperson made 140 recommendations to the Ministry of Health to improve seniors care by fixing BC’s home and community health care system. How has the government responded?

But not only do seniors deserve quality home and community care, it also keeps seniors out of hospital, which saves money and improves health care for everyone.
