Low Income Advocates Network – with Low Income Intermediary Project and Spence Neighbourhood Association

Harold Dyck has been an EIA advocate in the community for more than 20 years, and has developed extensive knowledge and experience navigating the EIA system. The Low Income Intermediary Project helps provide resources, education, and advocacy for Manitobans experiencing poverty. The implementation of online resources and creation of an EIA advocates network will help to increase the accessibility of this knowledge to the community.

There are two main objectives of the project. The first is to develop a centralized online list of educational materials and advocacy resources for people navigating the EIA system and for advocates and community organizations working with those people. The second is the creation of a network of EIA advocates in Manitoba to facilitate the sharing of skills and information. My work on this project, which will also involve collaboration with a second internship student, will focus primarily on the first objective, with an emphasis on research and organizing information.
