John Wall, MLA for Swift Current, on behalf of Judy Bradley, minister
responsible for the Status of Women, today presented a Swift Current
women's organization with a grant to enable them to access the
Internet and train members to use the new communications technologies.
The Southwest Safe Shelter 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 Southwest Safe Shelter to network more
easily, access information more quickly and serve the needs of their
members more effectively," Wall said.
The Southwest Safe Shelter works to co-ordinate and provide services
to victims of personal and family violence in southwest Saskatchewan.
It offers shelter, counselling, referrals, advocacy and public
education.
