Women's programs cut
Year Published: 1990Resource Type: Article Cx Number: CX3925 Abstract: The federal government's February budget slashes $1.6 million in funding from women's programs. Hardest hit were 80 women's centres across the country which lose all of their funding. Three women's publications -- Healthsharing, Canadian Women's Studies, and Resources for Feminist Research -- will lose all of their government funding. Several other organizations will suffer 20 per cent cuts: the Canadian Committee on Learning Opportunities for Women, the Canadian Research Institute for the Advancement of Women, the Women's Research Centre, and Noveau Depart. The National Action Committee on the Status of Women, which lost 15 per cent of its budget last year, will have its remaining $490,000 cut by another $100,000 this year. |
