Our employees at different service points across the provinces and the regions do not only deliver the program. They also sit on interdepartmental committees with other colleagues, to advocate for women's equality. They also take part in developing strategies related to rural women, and the agreement in Vancouver, which means that there is an important component for women living in Vancouver. They carry out consultations with stakeholders and with the provinces, territories and governments. They provide a great deal of information about federal programs, not only those delivered by Status of Women Canada, but other programs that can be of interest to women and help them move their issues forward.
