That was the message brough to Terrace last week by the authors of a welfare rights handbook, ‘Welfare Rights & Gain.” Marilyn Callahan, and Marjorie Martin of the School of Social Work at the University of Victoria, were sponsored by the school to travel throughout province, holding workshops on Welfare and GAIN (Guaranteed Annual Income. for Need), The same regulations apply to Welfare, Minicome, . and handicapped pension, all of which are classed under the GAIN Act, although rates are different.) The authors Jashed out at the myth of “big give- aways” on Welfare, stating it is “almost impossible to make ends meet.’’ * “It's a minimal level that people on Welfare have to live on,” according to Callahan. For example, a single mother with two children would receive a shelter allowance of $135 and a support allowance of $200. This hypothetical mother o Arbitration| for police -VICTORIA (CP) — The Saanich policemen’s union to arbitration in a contract dispute with the municipality, following a request by Acting Labor Minister Garde Gardom. Spokesman Cpl. Phil Jamieson said that the decision was made after heatedndebate at a meeting eallednto take a strike vote, Jamieson said that the meeting, attended by 100 of the 110-member Saancch ‘Police Association, decided ‘to. ask Gardom today that the dispute go to arbitration undernthe Essential‘ Ser- vices Disputes Act, Earller Monday, Gardom, who also is attorney-general, asked both sides in the dispute to consider ar- bitration under the terms of the essential services act, Saanich Mayor Mel- Couvelier.was in Edmonton on Monday attending a conference of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. Under the essentlal ser- vices legislation, both sides either can agree to an ar- bitrator or can have one The dispute centres on a costof-living - adjustment clause. The policemen want any cost-of-living increase granted during the duration of the two-year contract to be included in the base pay rate for purposes of determining a new pay scale in the next contract, -. The police‘ ‘board, headed the childre would have to stretch that $200 to cover utility bills, food, clothing and other necessities, while living in less-than comfortable ac- commodation. In B.C, there are ap proximately 60,000 families and 20,000 single people on GAIN, according to the authors’ figures, 90 percent of whom are unemployable, either because they are handicapped, senior citizens, or single parents. Actually, the two women pointed out, most of the people on government assistance are mn. One of the major problem faced by people on _Assistance is the fact that GAIN rates do not keep up with cost of living increases, leaving the lagging farther and farther behind basie living stan- dards. Callahan and Marlin are providing these workshops to help people on Welfare know recipients their basic rights while they are on assistance, Many people are not aware of extra benefits they are entitled to under the act, or how to go about getting them, they said. For example, if the per- son’s stove breaks down, rather than subsisting on hot dogs for a month in order to pay for repairs, the recipient can apply for extra money to cover the cost of repairs, It's important for the person on GAIN to know about these benefits ‘'so you don't have to feel so much like a begger'’ when asking for them, Martin said, Besides explaining about special needs, the booklet circulated at the workshops and written by Callahan and Martin explains about ap- peal procedures, incentive programs to earn extra money, and education and training to get back into the work force.
