New name in Sydney
The Mi’kmaq Women’s Resource Centre in Sydney has a new name, according to the Cape Breton Post.
A ceremony was held yesterday to rename the centre to honour Jane Paul, a 33 year old mother; who passed away in March. She was a strong advocate for the year old centre since it opened in response to the police crackdown on prostitution in Sydney and a local Mi’kmaq woman who went missing.
