PWHCE continued its long history of rural women's health research with two Rural Women's Health Workshops in Young, Saskatchewan. At the workshops the women reviewed national study recommendations and determined what issues were particularly relevant for them in their communities. They developed visions of what their communities would look like if the issues were resolved and identified actions to start achieving those visions.

The Rural Women's Issues Committee of Saskatchewan was formed from workshop participants to organize further opportunities for women to meet and discuss the well-being of themselves and their communities.

Support from PWHCE and Status of Women Canada enabled the group to conduct Rural Women's Action Workshops in Nipawin, Swift Current, Unity and Christopher Lake, Saskatchewan.
