Katimavik

Micah and I are outraged about an email we received this week from Katimavik

"Last July, we were informed that the Treasury Board had approved funding only until August 2007, the end of our current program year. Due to the review of social programs initiated by the current government, we were further advised that a decision concerning our longer term status would only be communicated to us in January 2007. We have also been directed to cease any recruitment activities until further notice. "

Thank you Mr. Harper.

I personally believe that Katimavik is a valuable program. It would be a shame if the program was cancelled again. You know I'm all about the letter writting right? Sample form letters can be found at: http://www.fundingstatus.katimavik.org/support/index/ Almost 2000 letters have been sent in the last 4 days (mine waas letter #1638). Add your voice. I sent a letter to Mr.-hope-an-election-is-coming soon-Harper, Beverly Oda, Minister of Canadian Heritage and Status of Women and my MP Dawn Black.

Please pass this info on to anyone you think may be interested.
