As the City of Peterborough considers whether to support a basic income guarantee, at least one councillor is ready to offer her support right now.

Councillor Diane Therrien, known for her support of many social justice issues, is also the facilitator of community education and engagement with the Peterborough Poverty Reduction Network.

“I’m happy to support basic income policy,” she tells Leaders and Legacies. “I think it’s an idea that is long overdue.”
