REPORTS: SPECIAL ISSUE DISCUSSIONS
The following discussion sessions were held in order to involve
interested conference participants in informal, creative "think-in's".
Francophone Caucus
Joanne Thibert reported on this meeting. An ad hoc committee has
been set up to consider a process of francophone outreach. This committee will
formulate various options for developing a network to promote learning
opportunities for francophone women, and will consider whether this work should
be carried on within C.C.L.O.W. or through another mechanism.
Women and the Constitution Meeting
Susan Wismer reported that a small group has met to discuss the
proposed Constitution as it relates to C.C.L.O.W. concerns, i.e. learning
programs for women. The group recommended that C.C.L.O.W. gather as much
information as possible and circulate it among our members, and actively
support the work of other organizations. The group recognized the difficulty
most women face in trying to relate broad and general constitutional issues to
their everyday lives.
