Poverty plays role in residents quality of life

A local report suggests that the quality of life for many people in Thunder Bay is impeded by barriers which aren't always under their control.   Quality of Life Network Chair Nancy Chamberlain says of the over 200 people questioned, those living in poverty felt they were being discriminated against.  The Network is made up of 28 non-profit organizations and the report was funded by the Provincial Government's Northern Ontario Heritage Fund.
