SASKATOON WOMEN'S GROUPS RECEIVE INTERNET ACCESS AND TRAINING GRANTS

Released on May 1, 1998

Municipal Government Minister Carol Teichrob, on behalf of Judy

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

12 Saskatoon women's organizations with $98,000 in total 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 enable these organizations to network more easily,

access information more quickly and serve the needs of their members

more effectively," Teichrob said.
