THE NEW CANADA
MOVEMENT: WERE
YOU INVOLVED?
"Save Agriculture— Save Canada"
is a headline that could well have been
taken from any current paper. It wasn't.
It appeared in the Weekly Sun in 1933.
This slogan was the basis for the
formation of a group known as The New
Canada Movement. At that time, it was
felt that the grave situation facing
agriculture in Canada was achallenge to
the youth of rural areas to awaken and do
something about it.
During the winter of 1933, counties
such as yours were "stormed" in more
ways than one. Working through one of
the bitterest winters on record, The New
Canada Movement swept through
county after county, gaining a
membership of 7,021 farmers.
Were you part of this event? Do you
have any recollections of meetings or
the people involved? If you do, your
input is urgently needed. Veterans of
The New Canada Movement, with the
support of a New Horizons grant, have
asked me to document this period in
history. It will not be accurate or
complete without the input of the people
actually involved.
The New Canada Movement didn't
last long, but it had a powerful effect on
the rural community. From it sprang the
Farm Radio Forum, Folk Schools, and
the Farm Credit Corporation.
