PRINCE ALBERT WOMEN'S AND COMMUNITY GROUPS RECEIVE INTERNET ACCESS AND TRAINING GRANTS

Released on August 31, 1998

Myron Kowalsky, MLA for Prince Albert Carlton, on behalf of Judy

Bradley, minister responsible for the Status of Women, today presented

five Prince Albert women's organizations with $37,000 in grants to

enable them to access the Internet and train members to use the new

communications technologies.



The groups will receive the funds from the Women's Organizations On

Line Program, an initiative of the Saskatchewan Women's Secretariat.



"This program will strengthen the ability of community groups to deal

with pressing issues such as poverty, unemployment and family

violence," Kowalsky said. "These organizations will be able to link

with other groups more effectively and meet the needs of their clients

and members more efficiently."



The majority of groups receiving funding provide support and services

to lower income women, First Nations or Metis women, rural or northern

women, visible minority and immigrant women and women who are victims

of violence.



Kowalsky noted that at a recent Internet symposium for Saskatchewan

women, keynote speaker and President of Meta Strategies Inc. Liz

Rykert stated that this program is in the forefront in Canada and that

Saskatchewan is leading the way for other provinces and territories.

"We look forward to Saskatchewan women's organizations' strong

presence online locally, nationally and internationally,"

Kowalsky said.
