"No, absolutely nothing.
That sign (for the Seaforth
Armoury) was the first time
I'd ever noticed it."
Mel Thorxen
"I know it's an armoury. I
see those air cadets here."
John Wekking
"No, nothing."
Raymond Marti
"I heard Seaforth has
something to do with the
cadet thing. I don't know."
Irene Herdler
"No, I've never heard of it."
Hayashi Hidoshi
* Asked recently in Vancouver

facilities operated by Phoenix
of Huron m the towns of
Clinton, Exeter and Goderich.
Since opening in June of
1991, Phoenix has been the
home to 146 women and 164
children, including the 34
women and 38 children
currently living at the three
sites in Huron County. A
remarkable 90 per cent of these
women using the . services
provided by Phoenix have not
returned to abusive partners
and are now living non-violent,
independent lives.
Phoenix is about so much
more than safe, affordable
housing for these women and
children. During their stay at
Phoenix, the women are
provided . with one on one
counselling, support with and
through the legal and court
systems and group
programming activities to deal
with the issues of violence in
their lives.
Work with children at
Phoenix includes one on one
therapy helping them to deal
and cope with the affects of
witnessing violence; teaching
non-violent behaviours to stop
the cycle of violence from one
generation to the next; and
parental support for the
mothers to assist them in
dealing with their children who
have experienced or witnessed
violence in their lives.
In rural areas such as here in
Huron County, there are no
other programs or services
,available to replace what is
presently being offered by
Phoenix of Huron to meet the
critical and integral needs of
the women and children of
Huron.
These are women who are
our neighbours, our friends, our
sisters and our daughters.
These children are the future;
they are the 'next generation'
Mike Harris is professing to be
planning a better future for by
reducing a long held provincial
debt.
This week the Harris
government effectively said to
all women and children of
Huron County and across the
province; 'Your well-being and
safety are of no issue or
significance to this
government'. Period.
Furthermore, these cuts have
trade an ominous and appalling
statement to all of the next
generation, saying clearly that
the future of this province and
its residents is far less
important than are the short
term ambitions of this
government.
Sincerely,
The Board of Directors and
Staff of Phoenix of Huron in
Clinton, Exeter and Goderich
