      History

      The Lakehead Social Planning Council (LSPC) was founded in 1963. The LSPC is a non-profit, non-partisan, charitable organization.

      The LSPC aims to support marginalized groups in Northern Ontario who are facing inequalities. It works within local, provincial and federal networks. The LSPC primarily works to reduce poverty and financial illiteracy. For example, it aims to reduce and find solutions for people at risk of homelessness. In 2008, it founded the “2-1-1 Helpline;” it supports a variety of communities with resources, such as homelessness and emergency services.

      One notable former executive director is Margaret Phillips (1931-2015), whose records are held at Lakehead University Archives.
