News Release Announcement of the Nov. 17th presentation. |
"The RCMP agrees that the internet is a wonderful tool to access endless
information or to e-mail friends and family across the
world. However, there are some individuals who use the
internet as a tool to cause harm and to commit criminal
acts. It is important for internet/computer users to protect
themselves by learning the possible dangers. All
computer users, regardless of their age, should be informed,
be smart and be alert. Please join us to discuss the
possible dangers associated to internet use." -----Cst. L.J. Schlatter, RCMP |

The Hegg Hoffet Fund
The Hegg Hoffet Fund for Displaced Women Graduates assists graduate women and, in special cases, tertiary women students, who have been displaced as a result of war, political upheaval or other serious emergencies. Some are fleeing gender-related atrocities in their home countries, such as rape, honour crimes, forced marriage & female mutilation. Others fear for their lives because of persecution for reasons of race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership in a particular social group. Arriving in a new country, most face complex challenges to integration, among them language difficulties, unemployment, rejection of foreign qualifications and the need for retraining.
IFUW's Hegg Hoffet Fund provides short-term grants for refresher courses for re-entry into the candidates' professional fields (or if that is not possible, training courses leading to some other employment), and for language training and other courses to assist with integration into their new countries. In addition to financial assistance, IFUW's national and local groups also provide the graduate refugees with moral support to help them adjust to life in a different country.
In the case of natural disasters, IFUW's national federations & associations may apply for short-term grants on behalf of university women or women students within their countries who have suffered hardship due to the disaster and who wish to continue their work or studies.
Recent Fund beneficiaries have fled turmoil in Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America and receive asylum in Europe, North America, South Africa and Australia.
Although IFUW member fundraising efforts for the Hegg Hoffet Fund include shops at conference, auctions and luncheons, further donations are imperative.
