Dear Women's Education:
I want to let you know how informative and helpful I found the workshop with Susan Wismer, sponsored by CCLOW- Manitoba. The workshop last April provided me with an opportunity to discuss further Susan's excellent report on education and training in Canada [Women's Education and Training in Canada: A Policy Analysis].

Since that time, I have assembled a presentation for our Canada Employment Centres to reinforce some of the messages contained in Susan's report and to stress the importance of training and information sources for women with our CEC counselors. Susan's publication provided me with much of the material used in the presentation.

Thank you for the excellent research and articles concerning women, employment, education and training. They are objective, concise and sometimes the only source in tracking what's happening (or not happening) to women in the labour force.

Sincerely,
Mary Scott

Dear Women's Education:
We are very glad to announce our first summer course for foreign scholars interested in focusing on Women in Mexico. The course is meant to cover such aspects and topics as history, art and literature, rural development and peasant women, urban population, work and social mobilizations, women from the Mexico-U.S. border, and public policies on education and health. We are sure the course will be of great interest for scholars teaching or working on women's issues in Canada.

Sincerely,
Elena Urrutia

• The federal government spent $11 billon on the military and $ 11 million on women's equality.
  
  
• Last years federal budget cut 15% from the Secretary of State Women's Program, a major funding source for women's groups across the country. This cut affects us all.
  
  
• We are worth more than that Last of work remains to be done in our fight for equality and social justice. Let's challenge the movement. Let's ask them, where's their commitment to women's equality?
