Jane Paul Mi’kmaq Women’s Resource Centre grant

The Jane Paul Mi’kmaq Women’s Resource Centre for Indigenous women is getting a $40,000 grant.

Volunteer coordinator Helen marshall says the money from the province is coming at a crucial time because they are limited to two part time staff.  She’d like to see a full time social worker.  The Minister in charge of the status of women Joanne Bernard recognized the need for the centre but couldn’t commit to ongoing funding.
