Following the recent election of Lillian Maguire as Yukon Director, an appreciation dinner was held for Pam Evans, representative of the area for the past four years. The group also plans to continue coordinating hands-on demonstrations of women in non-traditional work for high school classes in Whitehorse, and is currently developing a teacher's guide to accompany these sessions.

Alberta Report by Pat Leginsky

Members of the Edmonton Chapter of CCLOW have completed the Women's Educational Research Project and the release of the report In search of Opportunity: A Preliminary Evaluation of Learning Opportunities in Alberta. Copies of the report have been distributed to each Alberta CCLOW member. A one-day provincial meeting to discuss the political and social implications of the study and plan of actions is scheduled for the fall of '85.

Northwest Territories Report by Janet Armstrong

NWT CCLOW members have not yet met as a group, but have continued to share interests, concerns, and projects. I have met with almost all of our NWT members over the past few months and anticipate that I will be able to meet with all NWT members within the year.

Many women have expressed interest in becoming members. I expect that we will see a substantial increase in our Northern membership this year.

The main issues of concern to all of our members have been the recent Task Force Report on Spousal Assault, ABE Curriculum Development, child care and day care legislation and training programs for women.
