Richard said she found that

to help women had a clear idea
of what their cliéhts’ needs
were, yet many women did not.

ing, daycare, education — were:

“It seemed ‘apparent that

approximately 10 per cent of the
women in. Terrace,” Richard
said. “Our target was 500 and
we exceeded it by about 80."’

As researchers believe that
each person surveyed represetit
10 people, Richard feels a good
portion of women in Terrace
were represented.

Copies of Richard’s report
can be found at various social
service organizations in town,
including the women’s centre,
Ksan House and the Kermode
Friendship Centre.

The survey was financed by a
$10,000 grant from the province
as Phase I of a program design-
ed to examine needs of women.
_ That request for .a second

program.
