Alberta Women’s Institutes 6 T he Alberta government has launched a $ 30 million program to help low and moderate-income seniors and persons with disabilities live in their own communities. The Affordable Supportive Living Initiative will provide capital funding to help develop affordable, supportive living projects across the province. “ We want to help Albertans remain in their communities when they are no longer able to live independently due to health and personal care needs,” Greg Melchin, Minister of Senior and Community Support, said in a news release. “ We recognize the growing need for supportive living units across the province.” The deadline for applications is Oct. 29. Projects that can be underway in the next six months will be given priority. In the FWIC Citizenship and Legislature educational convener’s report our province is doing many of the same things as the other provinces. The branches are helping their communities by supporting hospitals, senior citizen homes, women’s shelters, 4- H clubs, school bursary & scholarship funds, hot lunch and breakfast programs, fire departments, local libraries, remembering sick and shut- ins and volunteering in schools. Everyone can be a participant in our communities no matter the age or the number of members we have. Linda Hoy ends by saying “ By sharing we educate ourselves.” wi Citizenship & Legislation Report Darlene Wicks, Convener I know that many branches will be reorganizing with annual meetings very soon and getting programs for the New Year ready. So it will be time to look at new areas of study and I encourage each branch to study something new to Alberta this year. May I sugguest that each branch try something new this year and look at one topic through the eyes of each education paper. Each topic can be reviewed for agricultural or industrial impact on Alberta. Each new topic will need to be investigated in regards to Environmental impact, and what is the international impact. We need to educate ourselves about the products that will be produced as well as review the health issues surronding this topic. Each topic you may choose to look at will also have some economic, legislative, and citizenship impact on our province. This is only an idea which may help create some new interest in educational papers. I don’t mean to sound like I am nagging but I do need your Agriculture and Canadian Industry reports soon so I can send my report to the national level. Until Next time. wi Why Are Nuts Good For You? A favourite childhood snack was a heaping spoonful of peanut butter. It could be licked like a lollipop until all traces of the delectable butter were gone. Then the realization came of how much fat was in that spoonful, so the peanut butter was traded for rice cakes. Years later there is an indulgence of a handful of nuts, thanks to recent research that shows they can help ward off disease. You could substitute nuts for a less nutritious food such as a muffin or chocolate bar, or cheese and crackers, says Vancouver registered dietician Nina Hirvi. While you should limit them to four or five 30gram servings a week, you’d be nuts not to include them in your diet! Here’s why: Studies show that: a Pecans and almonds can lower your cholesterol a Peanuts and walnuts help protect your heart a Walnuts, pecans and Brazil nuts help to counteract cancer a Cashews, macadamia nuts, Brazil nuts, almonds, pecans and walnuts help to keep you trim!
