CCLOW (REGINA CHAPTER), continues to meet once a month. We are developing a local constitution which will help us define goals, objectives and directions for 1983. We are also looking at ways to expand our membership and networking function, both in Regina and throughout the province. We continue to push for the development of improved learning opportunities for women through follow up of the CCLOW brief to the Ministry of Education and through developing new projects.

After months of planning and coordinating, many hours of work and tremendous commitment by all involved in its development; the conference, The Future is Now: Women and the Computer Age, was held very successfully in Regina, November 19th - 21st, 1982. For a copy of the conference report contact: Alva Jangula, Regina Plains Community College, 2708 12th Avenue, Regina, Saskatchewan S4T IJ2. CCLOW, Regina Chapter, recently presented a brief, Improving Women's Access to Education and Training, at a province-wide conference on Adult Basic Education in Saskatoon.

The third and final address will be given on May 5th by Judge Rosealie Abella, a family court judge from Ontario, on "The Development of Women's Rights."

CCLOW and the P.E.I. Caucus of the National Association of Women and the Law have applied to Secretary of State for funding to sponsor a one-day conference on legal rights for women, to take place May 6th ,1983 following Judge Abella's address. Proposed areas to be addressed are: Employment Rights (including sexual harassment), Social Justice and Violence against Women. The Women's Employment Development Program, a federal government outreach program funded by Employment and Immigration, has approached CCLOW in P.E.I. to act as a sponsoring body for their project. A committee of three members has been struck to act as the sponsors. Recently, CCLOW Director Heather Orford, contributed an article to Common Ground, a P.E.I. women's journal, describing the aims and objectives of CCLOW.
