Andy Renaud, MLA for Carrot River, on behalf of Judy Bradley, minister
responsible for the Status of Women, today presented a Hudson Bay
women's organization with a grant to enable them to access the
Internet and train members to use the new communications technologies.
The Hudson Bay and District Crisis Centre will receive $7,000 from the
Women's Organizations On Line Program, an initiative of the
Saskatchewan Women's Secretariat.
"This funding will enable the Hudson Bay and District Crisis Centre to
network more easily, access information more quickly and serve the
needs of their members more effectively," Renaud said.
The Hudson Bay and District Crisis Centre provides crisis intervention
and prevention services to women involved in domestic violence. It
provides 24 hour access to safe shelter, as well as information and
referral services.
