Pratt & Whitney Canada Presents a Cheque for Over
$88,000 to Seven Women's Shelters

LONGUEUIL, QUEBEC--Pratt & Whitney Canada Corp. (P&WC) presented
on September 3 a cheque for $88,120 to be shared equally among
seven Montreal South Shore shelters for women and children who
are victims of family violence. The money represents half of the
proceeds from the 17th annual Les Femmeuses art exhibition and
sale, held at the company's Longueuil head office last April and
attended by more than 5,000 visitors.

"Each of the shelters will receive a record $12,588 raised during
this year's Les Femmeuses, reflecting once again the growing
success of this important cultural and community event," said
Alain M. Bellemare, President, P&WC, during the cheque
presentation ceremony.

The 17th edition of Les Femmeuses featured 157 artworks by
professional women artists in the visual arts. In all, 126 works
of art and 40 prints were sold during the event; combined with
sales of T-shirts and donations it raised a record $170,000
compared with $160,736 last year. Half the proceeds from the
sale of artwork goes to the artists who sold their works and the
other half is divided among the seven shelters.

Since its inception in 1986, Les Femmeuses has provided a total
of more than $785,000 to the seven shelters, which together have
helped more than 30,000 women and children. Funds donated allow
them to provide lodging, offer 24/7 telephone service, organize
individual or group meetings, and arrange accompaniment during
legal proceedings.

The shelters are: Carrefour pour Elle in Longueuil; La Cle sur la
Porte in St-Hyacinthe; La Maison Simonne Monet-Chartrand in
Chambly; La Re-Source in Chateauguay; Maison Hina in
St-Jean-sur-Richelieu; Maison La Source in Sorel-Tracy; and
Pavillon Marguerite de Champlain in St-Hubert.
