The slogan of the Port Alberni Women’s Centre banner was “Rural women need access to….” along with a list that included jobs, education, social services, and housing. It was part of the Banner Project which asked women’s groups across Canada to produce a protest banner that would become part of a huge banner in Ottawa. The goal was to show the strength and solidarity of women during the Third Commonwealth meeting of Ministers Responsible for Women’s Affairs in October 1990.
