The B.C. Women’s Secretariat Newsletter was originally called the B.C. Women’s Programs Newsletter and was published several times a year by the Women’s Office, B.C. Ministry of Labour. Later, it was produced by the Women’s Secretariat, Ministry of Advanced Education and Job Training and renamed.

The goal of the newsletter was to increase public awareness of women’s issues, particularly in job training and employment, as well as provide information on initiatives, resources, and programs. Brief articles highlighted women in leadership roles, mentorship initiatives and training programmes, entrepreneurship, and access to non-traditional work. It also recommended readings and resources.  The Minister’s Message usually provided an overview of government work being done on the status of women, including funding for organizations and projects.
