Priest wants to help inner city poor

Page 14

When Father George Mealy heard reports Edmonton's inner city Natives were living in Third World conditions, he didn't condemn the government for neglect.

Instead, the 63-year-old Anglican Catholic Priest decided he'd like to try to line up public support to battle poverty in Alberta' capital city.

Mealy, who has been sharing space at St. Peter's Lutheran church in the inner city since November, has some experience with the poverty-stricken population, but admits he needs to get more involved to be more effective.

The parents and students of the Grade 9 class at Paddle Prairie School are raising money to go to Summer Youth University at the U of A in Edmonton.

Summer Youth University is an outside look at the campus and the broad range of opportunities available there. It is a nine-day program for junior and senior high students. Students choose their own courses and learn about the content and nature of the subjects as fields of study and research. They stay on campus and learn a little about campus life.

Business sacrificed to help community

Elected president of the Neeyanan (Ours) Association at Peerless Lake about 12 months ago, John Cardinal says he had to give up a thriving slashing firm to concentrate on local development programs for his community.

At one time his slashing outfit was making $60,000 a year. Now the one-time trapper says he and his family live on welfare, because he decided to "step forwards" and do something for Peerless Lake.

'I was taken by social workers and not allowed to say good-byes'

Page 6

In response to the numerous concerns about our children in the systems of society, I feel I must no longer remain silent to the issues that invade me constantly. I make particular reference to the deaths of our youth while in the care of established and governed institutions, which are legislated to deliver such care.

I myself am a product of the foster care system and was first apprehended by Alberta Social Services in Aug. 1967 at the age of eight and was to go through five more homes by the time I was 15. This included short stays at various youth centers.
