Approximately 20 people at-
“tended the Terrace Women’s
Resource Centre’s annual

gerieral-meeting May 26.
Following the business por-
tion of the meeting, discussion

‘focused on evaluating the ac-

tivities of the Centre over the
past year and giving direction
for the upcoming year. Al-
though the majority of the
membership attending agreed
the Centre had been succesful in
its goal to heighten its profile in
the community, work, in. this
area should be continued so that
more women feel welcome to
become involved in Centre ac-
tivities.

. A common question staff
members Angela Young and
Mary Bowering hear from Ter-
race is, ‘‘What is it you do,
anyway?’’. This shows com-
munity interest in understanding
the role of the Centre, but also
reveals a certain amount of con-

_ fusion or lack of information. It

can be a difficult question to

‘answer, because of the diversity

es ae

of the tasks and activities the.

Centre takes on.

In the past year, staff and
volunteers have presented three
different film series, one in
cooperation with the Terrace
Association for Community Liv-
ing, one using National Film
Board productions focusing on
women, and one held at the Cen-
tre over noon hours for. the con-
venience of working .women.
They have also helped to
organize the Northern Women's
Conference held in. Prince
George, brought speakers to
Terrace including. writer Myrna
Kostash and a Planned Parent-
hood representative for com-
munity meetings, and par-
ticipated in a nuniber of letter-
writing campaigns to improve
the status of women through
lobbying all levels of govern-

ment. The Open House on Inter- -
-problem that women’s centers

national Women’s Day attracted
over 40 women, many of whom
were first-time visitors to the
Centre. uo, ;

In ‘addition to these special

events, on a day-to-day basis the

Centre acts as a community
resource, providing support and
information to other Terrace
area organizations, and to the

- many women and men who drop

in for information, to borrow

books, use the photocopier, or

just have a coffee and a chat.
Staff keeps. well informed

about national, provincial and

local isses affecting women, and
maintains up-to-date informa-
tion on local resources that
women and their families may
require. They assist people with
questions on everything from
local child care spaces, medical
issues, legal rights, the Meech
Lake Accord, housing, com-
munity services, employment —
you name it, and Mary or
Angela will help you find. the
answers you need:

misconceptions about ‘‘femi-—

and laughed about the label

Terrace Review — Wednesday, June 1, 1988 25

lomen’s Centre AGM sets priorities _

“bra-burners’’.

Readers may be interesteed in
the origin of the term. Almost 20
years ago, a small group of
American .feminists were
demonstrating against the view
of women as either household
drudges or sex symbols. They
were intending to publicly burn
symbols of these stereotypes in a
barrel. In it were a broom, a bra,
and other household items
representing these ideas. Before

the effigy-burning could take —

place, however, the demonstra-
tion was broken up. This didn’t
stop the media from coining the
phrase “‘bra-burner’’, which can
still be found today, decades
after the non-event.

To combat the power of
lingering misleading misconcep-
tions, the Centre is planning to
focus on more community
outreach. The membership
priorized two major. goals for

the upcoming year: increase net-
working with other women’s
groups in the community; and
increase work in helping women
develop their political

awareness. Other priorities for

the Centre’s volunteers include
working to balance the strong
opinions held on abortion;
social and economic develop-
ment: and assisting women to
deal effectively with the medical
profession. —

Although the Centre is of-
ficially closed during July and

‘August, Centre volunteers and

other community groups in-
cluding the Multicultural
Association, the Northern Pro-
choice Coalition, and Women
and Development will continue
to use the comfortable building,
to meet and talk, plan and
create, in a diversity of activities
to improve the status of
women. .

The Terrace Women’s Resource Centre hours are Tues-
day 1 to 4 p.m., Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays 9
a.m, to 12 p.m. and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturdays 1 p.m..
