Wider Service Aim of Women's Bureau
The Women's Bureau of the Manitoba Government launches an expanded outreach to help more women access counseling and guidance. It will keep Thursday evenings open to 8 p.m. and distribute brochures, with Mary Eady noting many home makers fear upgrading and seeking higher positions. The bureau offers free counseling, helps evaluate skills, plan training, and aims to extend services beyond Winnipeg as time allows.
