Greta Nemiroff

Nous réexaminons actuellement notre projet de services aux victimes de l'inceste, pour le proproposer une nouvelle fois.

Nous avons activement élaboré des stratégies de lutte dans l'affaire Penthouse devant les tribunaux de Montréal.

Nous nous sommes jointes au CCA et nous avons envoyé une jeune représentante à l'assemblée générale annuelle de cette organisation. Elle a trouvé l'événement fort intéressant.

Au nom du CCPEF, Greta Nemiroff a présenté un atelier sur La façon de faire face au désespoir à l'ère nucléaire lors de la conférence Les options des femmes pour négocier la paix à Halifax au début juin.

Manitoba Report by Monika Feist

Manitoba's CCLOW Branch has had only two regular meetings this past year due to the lack of time, changes in responsibilities, and availability of some of its members. Nevertheless, CCLOW was represented at a number of conferences, including the "Northern Options for Women" conference held in Thompson this past January.

Three CCLOW members spent much energy and meeting time to develop, lobby and submit our "Getting On Track" project to CEIC officials regionally, and finally, after much delay, to The Honorable Flora MacDonald. Recently her office responded positively, asking us to wait to again meet with her staff at the end of June, when the labour Market Strategy would be announced in detail.

At its June meeting, CCLOW members agreed to meet during the summer to strategize its upcoming year's approach to training, and, in particular, that related to the National Training Act, which has been extended for another year regarding a Manitoba-Canada Agreement.

Members also agreed unanimously that to encourage women with children to attend CCLOW quarterly, members would contribute at each meeting monies to cover the cost of an on-site babysitter.
