Women’s Studies 100 students may come to the desk asking for help with researching a women’s group or community organization. They have a paper due on October 11 for which they have to select a women’s group of community organization which is working for equality and social justice for women, and critically assess the group’s activities and priorities.
They should already have chosen a group as they are expected to visit them, but just in case they are looking for ideas, this global directory of women’s organizations, includes listings from BC:

The Red Book Online also includes listings. Try a search for “women” in the subject field:

Newspaper articles will likely be the best source of information, particularly Canadian Newsstand. There may also be information in other Canadian sources, such as CBCA Complete.
