Description

Montreal, the poverty capital of Canada! For decades, Montreal has held this sad distinction, as year in year out, one third of its population falls below the Statistics Canada low-income cutoff. Moreover, many problems related to social inequalities are concentrated in the densely populated neighbourhoods in the city centre and the north-south corridor, thus forming a geographic "T" of poverty which successive censuses confirm with discouraging consistency. Unemployment, social assistance and a low percentage of higher education round out the picture of economic poverty. That was the situation in the city when the Direction de sante publique (DSP) de Montreal was created in 1992. Through its programs and interventions on public policies, can public health help reduce poverty in a population? Can poverty's impact on the poor be reduced or can poverty even be prevented? This was the challenge the DSP set for itself from the outset and which has appeared one way or another in its policies and programs ever since.
