Training leaders and finding solutions to heal material,
social and spiritual poverty.
The Canadian Poverty Institute is an inter-disciplinary institute housed within Ambrose University that seeks to heal poverty through teaching, research and practice. Ambrose University is located in the traditional territories of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) and the people of the Treaty 7 region in Southern Alberta, which includes the Siksika, the Piikuni, the Kainai, the Tsuut' ina, and the lyarhe Nakoda. We are situated on land where the Bow River meets the Elbow River, and the traditional Blackfoot name of this place is Moh' kíns'tsis which we now call the city of Calgary. The city of Calgary is also home to Metis Nation of Alberta, Region Ill.
