Minister of Status of Women (and of Public Works) Rona Ambrose said yesterday that the government was funding 78 projects undertaken by women’s groups in Canada…and that 34 of those groups were receiving funding for the first time.
Today Chris Hilton, the minister’s director of communications, sent us the list of those 78 projects/groups (which were chosen from a record 486 proposals, according to the government.) This list is by province and territory and there is no indication of how much money is attached to each project (although we will attempt to find that out). There is also no information on what the projects are specifically about (although some seem obvious), but I’m sure a little digging will bring us those nuggets as well.
This list comes after the opposition accused the government of cutting funding to groups that do not share the Conservative’s ideology. The Liberals, for example, issued their own selective list yesterday.
Here is the government’s list for readers to peruse:

Karina Roman caught the journalism bug in Australia where she wrote AND sold ads for a fledgling weekly newspaper. Back in Canada, journalism school and stints at a national newspaper and CBC Radio’s As It Happens followed. In 2001, she was lured to Ottawa from Toronto by promises of “real” winters, thinking it was only going to be for a year. In the nine years since, she has reported on politics, business, technology, crime and elections for radio and television. In 2008 she joined CBC radio’s parliamentary bureau, became a mom for the first time and bought a house. Which makes her realize that probably means she’s going to be “enjoying” winters here for a while.
