West Coast LEAF presents the 2012 Equality Breakfast

It's that time again! Celebrate International Women's Day with West Coast
LEAF's
 25th Annual Equality Breakfast. Honour our collective achievements, be
inspired,
catch up with old friends and meet new ones, and raise money for West Coast
LEAF's
upcoming projects.

This year West Coast LEAF will host Chantal Hebert as our 2012 Equality
Breakfast
keynote speaker.  Considered by many to be Canada's best political
columnist, Hebert
writes for the Toronto Star and Le Devoir. Notably, Hebert is an outspoken
member
of CBC's The National's weekly At Issue panel where she uses a strong
understanding
of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms to analyze proposed legislation while
bringing
first-hand knowledge of the dynamics that shape the decisions and politics
on Parliament
Hill. She started her career in 1975 in Toronto working for Radio-Canada
television
news, and since then she has reported in French and in English on Canada's
constitutional
and referendum wars, the 1988 free-trade debate, the rebirth of the
Conservative
 movement, and much more. In 2007 she published French Kiss: Stephen
Harper's Blind
Date with Quebec.

Fans will appreciate that Hebert, one of the nation's most beloved
pundits, has been voted "Favourite Talking Head [

Mapping the Gap:
Linking Aboriginal Women with Legal Resources and Services

The Mapping the Gap report [
http://www.westcoastleaf.org/userfiles/file/mapping%20the%20gap-aboriginal%20-Final.pdf
]
is now available! In 2011, West Coast LEAF surveyed legal resources
available to
 women in BC in the context of diminishing legal aid services, specifically
focusing
on community-based legal resources accessed by Aboriginal women and their
advocates.
All consultations conducted during the project underscored two main issues:
there
is serious need for basic, face-to-face, legal support; and that Aboriginal
communities
face significant unmet legal needs. These and other findings, outlined in
our report,
identify available legal services and supports while describing gaps in
service
for Aboriginal women. The report also contains recommendations. More
information
 about the project can be found on our website [
