Child Poverty Rises in Canada

Child poverty in Canada surges, with 30,000 more kids falling below the poverty line in 2025, reaching levels not seen since 2017. The Canada Child Benefits impact is waning due to rising housing and food costs. First Nations families and those in Alberta, Nunavut, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba are hit hardest. Food insecurity is also on the rise, affecting 2.5 million children. The report calls for increased income supports, child care, housing, and healthcare from all levels of government to expedite poverty reduction.
