A major change in the poverty activist group Pathway to Potential.
Former Executive Director Adam Vasey has resigned from the organization to move on to other pursuits.
As a result the government-funded agency is undergoing restructuring.
Jelena Payne is Commissioner of Community Development and Health Services with the City of Windsor, which oversees the program.
She says the program does still exist despite Vasey's departure.
"The other programs the city and county funds under Pathway to Potential continue. The organizations and community partners are still being funded and there's a mandate among other organizations to take poverty on," says Payne.
She says a lot has changed since the program was initiated 7 years ago:
"When P2P was started the province had just launched its first mandate and poverty reduction strategy. The feds were nowhere at the table talking about poverty initiatives."
Payne says in the time since Pathway to Potential was created other organizations such as the United Way and Drouillard Place have stepped up to address various aspects of a complex social problem.
She says the community is getting value for the $1.8-million the city and county spend on Pathway to Potential each year.
