FRANCOPHONE WOMEN'S GROUP RECEIVES INTERNET ACCESS AND TRAINING GRANT

Released on September 11, 1998

Lloyd Johnson, MLA for Shellbrook-Spiritwood, on behalf of Judy

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

a Francophone women's organization with a grant to enable them to

access the Internet and train members to use the new communications

technologies.



The Federation provinciale des Fransaskoises, Debden Chapter will

receive $7,000 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," Johnson said.



"Our organization will be able to access research around the world,

connect with groups more efficiently and have immediate access to

information to help meet the needs of our members more effectively,"

said Pauline Tetreault, President for Federation provinciale des

Fransaskoises Debden Chapter.



Johnson 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.

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.



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

presence online locally, nationally and internationally," Johnson

said.



The Federation provinciale des Fransaskoises is the voice of

French-speaking women in Saskatchewan. It addresses a wide

variety of issues concerning women, such as health, new family

structures, financial autonomy, and violence prevention.
