About this
profile
In every community in Canada, poverty is the root cause of food insecurity. In this profile, we've compiled key stats about poverty and food insecurity in your federal riding.
We've highlighted the population groups that are most affected by poverty. We've also included data about income and housing affordability. Why? Because people living with poverty are more likely to earn low incomes, face challenges in paying rent and compromise on buying food.
We encourage you to use this tool to raise awareness and call on the federal government to provide better income supports to address poverty and food insecurity.
For more information about the data, see the FAQ.

Land acknowledgement
Right To Food operates and partners with food organizations from coast to coast to coast. We do this on the lands of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples, who have been and continue to be in a reciprocal relationship with the lands, waters, and all beings. This relationship has been embedded in gratitude and respect since time immemorial.
The national office of Right To Food is in Toronto and is on the territory of the Wendat, Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee, and Mississaugas of the Credit. This land is now also home to many First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples.
