Communications and Resolutions Convenor Roberta Walker present- ed two resolutions that will be vot- ed on at the April convention in Chatham. The delegates must at- tend with an instructed vote from their council, so both resolutions were thoroughly discussed. The council voted 'no' to a proposal for mandatory legislation that would require all adults, as well as chil- dren, to wear bicycle helmets. The -second resolution dealt with sexual harassment in the work- place, asking for more government funding to address the backlog of cases on harassment in the court system. It also requests that the government set guidelines for use in the public and private work- place, defining sexual harassment and appropriate employee educa- tion standards. The Grand Bend Council voted 'yes' for this resolu- tion, but requested that the word 'people' be substituted for 'wom- en' in the language of the resolu- tion to ensure that the rights of eve- ryone, both women and men, are protected. Walker also updated members on a suggested letter -writing campaign to government health ministers about providing substance abuse treatment centres for pregnant women to avoid damaging their un- born babies. Walker also reported her submissions to the survey on proposed secondary school changes from Snobelen; to developing a privitization tool for special servic- es at home qualifications, and let- ters to the editor on the 'True Love Waits" Teen Rally and other advo- cacy issues.
