SWAN will hole . • blic gather-
ing on August • . e the
tree and plaque. be
guest speakers and music.
SWAN members believe
tree will serve as a daily reminder
about the reality of violence to-
ward women and the ongoing
commitment to change.
In Canada most violence takes
place at home and is committed by
someone known to the victim.
Wife battering has become a na-
tional epidemic with somewhere
between 2.5 million and 6.25 mil-
lion women amulted by men they
loved.
ife battering affects everyone,
of all ages, all social class-
es, racial, cultural, religious, eco-
nomic, educational and profession-
al backgrounds. People used to
think it affected only lower socio-
economic classes. This assumption
can make it difficult for a middle
class woman, who has had no ex-
perience with violence.

own homes longer.
CMHC's Home Adaptations for
Seniors' Independence program
provides grants of up to $2,500 for
minor adaptations that will extend
the time senior citizens can live in
their own homes.
"The HAS1 program responds to
the desire of senior citizens to live
as independently as possible in
their own communities," said
Bruce Hutchings, CMHC Kitchen-
er office manager.
"Thousands of seniors realize
that if they could" just modify their
homes, without much expense,
they could continue to live there
and enjoy their own lifestyle."
Available to those 65 .and over
who may. have difficulty with daily
living activities due to diminishing
abilities, }IASI grants can cover
.the cast iof .materials and labour
necessary to make required adapta-
tions.
This could includeimplementing
handrails, easy -to -mach -work and
storage areas, lever handles • on
doors, -walk-in showers, bathtub
seats orgmb'bars.

gram, applicants can own.or rent•a

established in 1946. The HASI
program is part of the national
strategy for the integration of per-
sons with disabilities, said Hutch-
ings.
"More than 10 percent of Cana-
da's population is now over 65.
Seniors want to stay in their own
homes for as long as possible, and
this program costs much less than
building a new apartment for sen-
iors or'even operating a senior citi-
zen residence."

application forms contact the
