Artists, women's groups, equality-seekers and museums will bear the brunt of a round of federal cutbacks announced this week. The Mackenzie Art Gallery and Wanuskewin Heritage Park are among the organizations that will see their funding pool reduced. “The cuts are unwarranted. They came without advance warning at a time when Canada has a $13.2
billion surplus,” says Skip Kutz, president of the Saskatchewan Arts Alliance. Meanwhile, women's groups are mourning Status of Women cuts and the loss of the Court Challenges Program, which helped the non-wealthy pursue their Charter rights in court.
