DAWN Saskatchewan – Meeting with Pat Faulconbridge, Executive Director fo SK Status of Women
On Tuesday June 2nd, DAWN Saskatchewan is inviting women with disabilities, their friends and allies to a special meeting with Pat Faulconbridge, Executive Director of Saskatchewan Status of Women.
The meeting will take place Tuesday June 2nd, 6:30 p.m. at Parkridge Centre (110 Gropper Crescent, Saskatoon).
DAWN, the DisAbled Women’s Network, is a feminist organization whose mission is to end the poverty, isolation, discrimination and violence experienced by women with disabilities. DAWN works to ensure disAbled women get the services and supports they need, have access to opportunities that non-disabled people take for granted, and have freedom of choice in all aspects of our lives.
This meeting is an opportunity to learn about the work of the Status of Women Office as it relates to women with disabilities, and to raise ideas, concerns and issues that we would like addressed.
Please do share this message with those who may be interested!

At great social, environmental, cultural and economic cost to our communities, our neighbourhood schools are being demolished. Schools you can walk to are being replaced by big box schools you must drive to. Demolition rather than renovation, retrofitting and upgrading is presented as the only option. In the process, the proven advantages of small school education in a neighbourhood setting are being lost. There are no significant cost savings associated with this plan, and many new expenses in transportation and construction.
Help be a part of the solution by joining in on building a new, community-centred, sustainable vision for our schools and neighbourhoods.
