In five years of existence the
Women's House of Bruce County
has never been able to iaise 20
percent of its operating costs, said
the executive director of the
womea's Shelter on Thursday.
"We cover such a vast irea of
small towns it's very difficult to
Amdraise," said Susan Woodhouse,
executive director of Women's
House. 'Ike local community of
Kincardine is very supportive (but)
to get out to all of Bruce County is
very diffieult,"
The provincial social services
ministry provides 80 per cent of the
operating expenses of the Women's
House but the group has been
unable to raise 20 per cent of its
budget.
• "We're hoping to go after the
corporate dollar," said Woodhouse
to a crowd of public service'
employees at the CAW, ,service
Will - also be \approached by
Women's House, said Woodhouse,
"notonly Tv raise funds but to raise
awareness."
"There
"There are at least five battered
women here." said Woodhouse to
the public service employees who
.had just completed courses at the
CAW.
M least one in eight Canadian
women have been battered, said
Woodhouse, suggesting it might be
as high as one in five.
"The effects on children are great
... not growing up to have a normal
relationship," said Woodhouse.
The 'Women's House was
presented with more than $600
from ' public service union
employees and employees of the
... CAW complex, Fifty dollars was a
personal donation from the
president of the Ontario Public
Service Employees Union, Another
$277 came from a 50-50 draw by
the OPSEU course students and
donated in the name of CAW
complex employees. The winner of
the 50-50 draw, Dennis Parker,
'donated his winnings of $277 to
Women's House as. well. —
