WOMEN'S DAY CELEBRATED IN REGINA

Released on February 18, 2002

The Provincial Government is supporting 25 Regina, community-based

organizations in hosting events and activities in celebration of

International Women's Day (IWD) on March 8th. Activities will occur

throughout the month of March.



"One hundred and two Saskatchewan organizations have been provided with

grants of $500 in order to profile an issue that impacts women, raise

awareness about IWD and its significance, and highlight the important work

of these organizations who contribute so much to our quality of life in

Saskatchewan," Minister Responsible for the Status of Women Judy Junor

said.



"In Regina, groups will use the grants to sponsor events that recognize the

social and economic contributions women have made to our communities, to

profile the organization's services, and to discuss issues that impact

their community," Junor added. "I encourage the public to attend these

events."



March 8th is celebrated as International Women's Day around the world. It

is a time to celebrate women's social and economic achievements and reflect

on the challenges that still lie ahead. The theme chosen for this year's

IWD grant program is "The Diversity of Women".



Activities range from educational workshops on issues such as family

violence and poverty to discussions on disability issues, and awards

ceremonies.



Non-profit community-based groups whose primary mandate is to provide

services to women and/or work towards equality for women were eligible.

Groups from Buffalo Narrows to Hudson Bay to Estevan received grants.



For a listing of events for IWD you can access the Women's Secretariat's

Web site at www.womensec.gov.sk.ca/Events.html.
