1994 Vancouver and Lower Mainland Single Mothers' Resource Guide

Vancouver Status of Women has once again published the Vancouver and Lower Mainland Single Mothers' Resource Guide.

Since 1990, more than 20,000 copies of the guide have been distributed free to single mothers, but the Vancouver Status of Women continues to receive calls daily from women looking for this unique source of information and support. This year we have printed more than 8,000 copies to respond to this ongoing need.

The guide is free for single mothers, but we encourage community organizations distributing the guide to contribute $2.00 per copy towards the costs of reprinting the guide. Tax deductible donations can also be made towards the costs of reprinting the guide. To receive a copy or copies or to make a donation, please call the Vancouver Status of Women.

The guide contains more than 60 pages of easy-to-read information on housing, childcare, welfare, education and training, legal assistance, free and low-cost services, counselling, information and referral services for single mothers. The 1994 edition has been completely updated and revised to contain the latest information. It is the most comprehensive and the only resource guide of its kind for single mothers.

The 1994 edition of the guide has been funded by the Ministry of Social Services, the Ministry of Women's Equality, the Law Foundation of B.C., the Vancouver Foundation and the Legal Services Society. However, if we wish to continue to produce the guide in the future, we need your support. Please consider distributing the guide and paying $2.00 per copy to cover future printing costs.

Please contact the Vancouver Status of Women at (604) 255-5511 as soon as possible to order your copies.
