Status of Women office in Saskatoon affected by federal gov't cuts

About 30 protesters showed up Monday at the office of Conservative cabinet minister Carol Skelton to condemn the federal government's closure of Saskatoon's Status of Women office















The closure of Saskatoon's Status of Women office by the Conservative government is an attack on society's social fabric, protesters said at a rally outside Conservative MP Carol Skelton's office.

Members of local women's groups gathered Monday afternoon to protest the closure of 12 of the federal agency's 16 offices across Canada. They protested outside Skelton's office because she's Saskatchewan's lone federal cabinet minister.
