Women's Program

About this program

This 31-month project will help improve women’s economic security and prosperity by supporting the adoption of pay equity policies and practices in New Brunswick municipalities. More specifically, the New Brunswick Coalition for Pay Equity will analyze the systemic and structural barriers women face in women-dominated jobs in connection with local governance reform, as well as municipal pay structures and systems. The organization will then develop a guide and provide training on pay equity at the municipal level. Finally, the project will raise awareness among and engage members and the public to join in the dialogue on municipal pay equity policies. The project will draw on existing expertise at the provincial level to develop an appropriate approach and tools. It will engage community organizations and unions to promote and disseminate the resources developed
