The Provincial coalition for pay equity bringing in over $50,000 for 65 per cent of their fundraising goal.
The group is trying to raise $80,000 in order to eliminate what they call one of the root causes for poverty among women: pay inequity.
Louise Imbeault tells CHSJ News the fundraising is necessary as they no longer get any government funding.
She says for the last two years the government decided any organization that is looking for changes in laws would no longer get any funding.
The fundraising campaign began in late November and Imbeault tells us they hope to reach their goal sometime in January.
