The event, which was inspired by Canada and Ontario's 150th anniversary, as well as the 100th anniver- sary of women achieving the right to vote in Ontario, rec- ognized a wide range of vol- unteers, advocates, artists, educators, entrepreneurs, writers and athletes. The common theme was that each of the women has worked day -in and day -out to make their communities better. A highlight for Thompson was having Zurich native and centenarian Alice Thiel attend, who was born the same year that women achieved the vote. As shared with the crowd, Alice has experienced a century of evolution and transition; all the while she has maintained a strong sense of community.
