N. Shore groups

will celebrate
‘Equality Eve’

NORTH SHORE women are join-
ing with other women = across
Canada in a special celebration
this Valentine’s Day.

It's the 10th anniversary of the
largest mass movement of women
in the history of Canada. On Feb.
14, 1981, 1,400 women descended
upon Ottawa to fight for the en-
shrinement of their rights in the
proposed Charter of Rights.

The result was Clause 28, which
states that men and women are
equal under the law. This clause
affords Canadian women greater
legal protection than is enjoyed by
women in any other country in the
world, including the United
States, where American feminists
have been engaged in an ongoing
battle for similar protection since
1923.

This year, ‘Equality Eve’’ is
being marked with gatherings of

women who will discuss the expe-
tiences of Canadian women in
society and share their visions for
the future.

“It’s a very grassroots kind of
eclebration,’’ said Lynne
Melcombe, coordinator of the
North Shore Women’s Centre
(NSWC).

Local women, including
members of the NSWC, North
Shore Crisis Services Society, and
the Mary Catherine Paterson
organizing committee, will meet at
7:30 at the home of a North Shore
feminist to mark the occasion.

Interested women are invited to
call the Faye Cooper at 985-0067
for more information.

The NSWC, 103-145 W. 15th
St... North Vancouver, is open
Monday, Wednesday and Friday
from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Its
telephore number is 984-6009;
drop-in visitors are welcome.
