FWIO
has always voiced their concerns and taken
the appropriate action for a safe and secure
society. By collectively writing and presenting
resolutions to various levels of government,
Women's Institute Members have been instrumental
in the making of new laws and amending existing
ones. Members voice their concerns and initiate
resolutions at the community, provincial,
national and international levels.
Historically, FWIO has
played a pivotal role in influencing many
changes in provincial laws and practices,
including:
- mandatory stopping for school buses
with flashing lights
- installation of railway crossing signs
- painting of white lines on provincial
highways
- implementation of easy-to-understand
labels on food products
- enforcement of the proper use of slow
moving vehicle signs
- clear markings on poison containers
- many other initiatives!
The
Advocacy Committee, comprised of WI Members,
actively review and research various resolutions
before submission to the Provincial Board
for final approval. Once approved, a resolution
is submitted to the appropriate party or
level of government.
Are
you interested in voicing your concerns
and creating safe and secure communities?
