Women in Huron County Lose Help

The executive director of Women Today of Huron says cutbacks to the Status of Women will make it very difficult for women's groups to access federal funding.

Pam Hannington says describing a project in terms of accountability and measurable progress that the federal government requires is not easy. But she says that's what staff at the Status of Women office in London did for women in Huron County.

Hannington says once the cuts have been made, the closest office will be in Ottawa and staff across the country will be reduced to twelve people. She says the workload will be tremendous and a lot of women's groups will be left to fend for themselves.
