	Child Advocacy
	A child advocacy survey was conducted to determine services available and the needs of children. The survey was sent to the Association of Junior Leagues International and community groups. During the project, the following issues were dealt with by various committees: daycare forum a donation toward a film on daycare a brief to the Alberta government research and a position paper on the Children's Hospital turnover of the Toy Lending Library to the Edmonton Public Library establishment of a child abuse issues file a study of women and pensions. In addition, the committee educated members on advocacy skills and offered a legislative tour and constitutional workshop. The term child was dropped from the committee in 1978 to allow for a broader field of investigation. The committee was terminated in 1983, and two advocacy members were appointed to the Training Corps. [Back to top]		What's New?
