Description

March 4 Vancouver Vancouver City Council turned down an application for a grant of $9,920 by the Vancouver Status of Women to help fund their women's advocacy Ombudservice. Opposition to the grant was led by Alderman Bernice Gerard, a television evangelist and pro-life supporter, who criticized the group for its support of abortion and as a front for placing gay activists in schools. The Vancouver Status of Women appealed the decision.
