Please tell the government to stop cutting services for vulnerable people

EVERY DAY in your commumty, a dedicated team of women and men works to support families and care for the most vulnerable children and adults in our society.

They care for people with disabilities, help people in crisis, and lend a hand to women and children who are fleeing abuse.

They care for people with nowhere else to turn.

The provincial government has already cut more than $100 million from services for women, people with disabilities, children, and families. Next year, the Campbell government plans to cut another $70 million.

Please teU Premier CampbeU to stop the cuts. Ask him to properly fund services for vulnerable chil- dren and adults.

Tell him it's the right thing to do.

You can help! Send a message to the premier at www.cssinfo.ca
