Meanwhile, the North Shore Women's Centre, located at 103 — $45 West 15th St., will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m, tomorrow with a guest appearance scheduled for the Raging Grannies at 12:30 p.m.

The women’s centre is a drop- in information and referral centre that was started in the mid ’70s.

The centre’s coordinator, Jen- Beth Fulton, said 500 women use the facility each year.

“*We cover the whole spectrum

“of women’s needs from legal aid

to drop-in for social needs where someone just needs to be with other people,'’ said Fulton.

“And we let people know about female doctors, female psychiatrists and various support groups,’’ she said.

The centre is funded by the three North Shore municipalities and the federal secretary of state under special programs, and has also received some funds from the provincial government.

The centre has a feminist library of approximately 200 books.

Fulton said there is a need for a women’s centre because there are women today who need to go someplace where they can be believed and be helped to gain some feeling of empowerment.

“T still think there are many women who need to do a lot of catch-up in society,’ said Fulton. “I wish there were men’s centres too.”

The North Shore Women’s Centre is open Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 9:30
