She joined the Boissevain Women Institute in the 1940s for the same reason as many, to spend time with other women while their husbands were busy. Those classes and the charitable efforts these women shouldered are long over. In Boissevain, they held classes on cooking, sewing and interior decorating."Being a new bride I needed to have some help," she recalls. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
