Decoration service
There was good attendance at Ball's Cemetery, June 29,
for the 71st annual memorial ceremony. Rev. Paul Ross
conducted the service, speaking on "A new life".
WI begins 2nd century
Hundreds of Branch banners and
thousands of miniature lights from
the approximately 2,000 delegates
of the Women's Institute from
across Canada and around the
world helped Canadian members
usher in their second century.
Pageants, parades, bus tours,
choirs, speakers, fashion shows,
panels, banquets, a multicultural
concert at the Hamilton, Ontario
Convention Centre, and an
Interfaith Service made the week of
June 15 to June 22 an unforgettable
experience for the double event,
The Women's Institutes Centennial
Celebration and the Federated
Women's Institutes of Canada
Convention/97.
Helen Burt Upper Saunders-
Baufelt, a long-time WI member
from Thorold, born in 1897, the
same year the first Women's
Institute Branch was formed,
attended the opening ceremonies
and stated that she has never ceased
praising the Women's Institutes for
their good work.
Under the direction of Adelaide
Hoodless, an activist and Hamilton
socialite and Erland Lee, a
prosperous Stoney Creek farmer,
the first branch of the Women's
Institute was initiated on Feb. 19,
1897 and 100 years later remains
an organization devoted to
developing informed, responsible
citizens, encouraging good family
life skills, initiating programs to
achieve common goals and
leadership development.
Under the umbrella organization,
the Associated Country Women of
the World (Approximately 6
million women in more than 60
countries) projects continue to help
women improve their living
conditions.
Lyndsay Hacket-Pain, world
president of the ACWW stressed
the fact that the role of the ACWW
is to "help women to help
themselves" by offering relatively
modest but practical support to
rural communities, requesting
whatever the donees can offer and
often receiving matching funds
from specialist United Nations and
other aid agencies.
The Convention theme Indebted
to the Past; Committed to the
Future formed the basis of
addresses by all the guest speakers.
Motivational speakers, Norman
Rebin, and Rosalie Wysocki
congratulated the Women's
Institutes on their accomplishments
during the past 100 years but
reminded members to scheme,
dream and redeem as they enter
their second century and that it is
our attitude that affects our altitude.
Dr. Linda Ambrose, author of the
recently published For Home and
Country, the Ontario Women's
Institutes History, encouraged the
Women's Institutes in their future
plans and was present to autograph
copies of her book.
The keynote speaker for the
Convention, Dr. Roberta Bondar,
when recounting her lifetime of
achievements including her
participation in the space program,
stressed the importance of setting
adventurous goals, always keeping
a clear vision of them and, if one
path isn’t clear, finding another
path and keeping enthusiasm alive.
When a goal is reached, change
views to continue to improve
realizing that the achievement is
not the end but only the beginning.
During the convention, Charlotte
Johnson, president for the past
three years, turned over her duties
to Mildred J. Keith of New
Brunswick. Active at the national
level of the Women's Institutes for
many years, Keith was named to
the 1997 edition of the "Who's
Who of Canadian Women".
After a two-ballot election,
delegates chose Faye Mayberry, a
Red Deer, Alberta farmer and
FWIC executive member over the
other nominees, Margaret Munro
and Joyce Johnson, to be the
president-elect of the Federated
Women's Institutes of Canada for
the next triennium.
Action will be taken on all
resolutions presented at the
convention including: - requesting
that Canada Post review addressed
ad mail rates, requesting Health
Canada to: - set safety standards
for cooking pots; set a minimum
standard for print size on medicinal
containers and; ensure a list of
ingredients on the labels of all
imported liquid-filled products
such as paperweights.
As well, a letter and petition will
be submitted requesting that the
quality of health care be preserved
