/..If you are employed and going
entitled..to.pregoanct. leave.
This.:11.vibat :Ontaticols
to make certain you receive it.
We have,a law in Ontario which permits any
pregnant woman, married or not, to take a
17-week unpaid leave of absence to have
her baby. This law covers pan-time as well
as full-time employees, provided that they
have been working for the same employer
for at least 63 weeks befOre the expected
date of birth.
When she returns to work, the new
mOther is guaranteed the right to her former
position or to a comparable position with
no loss of seniority or benefits. •
Naturally, pregnancy does not prevent an
employee from bei6g disrnissed for valid
reasons not connected with pregnancy, but
pregnancy' alone cannot 'be the cause of
dismissal where an employee is eligible for
leave-.
An expectant mother is-required to give
two weeks' notice in writing of the day she
intends to leave. She is entitled to begin her
leaVe any time within 11 weeks before the
baby's birth but she must take at least six
weeks of her leave afterwards. if the em-
ployer wishes the employee to begin her
leave before she wants to do so, the em-
ployer must prove that she is unable to
perform her normal duties adequately.
The employee is eligible forlJniimploy-
ment Insurance benefits during her preg-
nancy leave (even if she does not intend to
resume work when her leave expires) if she
had at least 20 weeks otensured employ-
ment during the year before the birth. At
least ten of the 20 weeks should, have.fallen
between the 30th and,the 50th weeks before
the birth. • ,

pregnancy leave or other labour legislation

60 YEARS AGO
OCTOBER 1915
The 50th anniversary of the
organization of Lucknow Agricult-
ural Society was celebrated. There
were fall shows reported in the
village before there was an
agricultural society.
The first "Show" was held
among the stumps and features of a
backwoods village (later the site of
Murdoch and Cameron CoMpany
store). The exhibits consisted of 2
yolk of oxen, 2 cows, 1 calf and 2
pigs. It was reported: "that all got
a prize, Mr. Malcolm Campbell
giving out of his own packet $1.00
to a Mr. Webster, who had taken In
his oxen from Ashfield". Such was
the beginning.
The next two fairs or "ShoWs",
as the event was then termed, were
held On the street between the Cain
House and the Murray Block with
improvements on the first.'
It was after the holding 'of the
third show, for which there was
only a temporary organization and
the prize ''money secured' by a
collection, that the society was
/ '
organized in 1865.
Win. Anderson was the first
president; Robert Graham, was
first secretary and Wm. Geddes
was treasurer.
For the 50th anniversary of the'
fair there was a 'good ezhibition,
reported "as' one of the best ever
with splendid exhibits both inside
and out", but it was marred by rain
which cut down the attendance
greatly.
