REGINA GROUPS WORKING WITH PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES RECEIVE INTERNET ACCESS AND TRAINING GRANTS

Released on October 30, 1998

Joanne Crofford, minister responsible for the Status of Women, today

presented $27,000 in grants to three Regina women's and community

organizations working with people with disabilities. These grants

will enable the groups 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. These groups join other groups around the province who

have received additional funds to ensure accessibility of technology

by people with disabilities.



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

with pressing issues such as poverty, unemployment and family

violence," Crofford 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 women with disabilities, lower income women, First Nations or Metis

women, rural or northern women, visible minority and immigrant women

and women who are victims of violence.



Crofford 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.



"This grant will help women with disabilities network, access

information and research, and save on time and cost," Crofford

said. "We look forward to Saskatchewan women and women's

organizations' strong presence online locally, nationally and

internationally."
