Lucknow's Fran McQuail Honoured by Ontario NDP
Fran McQuail of Lucknow
was honoured by the
Ontario New Democratic
Party Women's Caucus at the
recent Provincial Council in
Toronto.
McQuail, a long-time resi-
dent of Huron, has been an
activist in the environmental
and farm communities and
with the New Democratic
Party for over forty years.
The Agnes MacPhail
award, named after the first
Canadian female Member of
Parliament, honours women
in the party who have made
significant contributions to
the advancement of women
and women's issues.
Agnes McPhail was origi-
nally from Grey County and
was familiar with farm coun-
try activism. She wrote as a
farm issues journalist and
was the farm organizer for
the CCF in the 1940's. She
would have been pleased
with this first ever recipient
from Huron -Bruce to be
awarded in her name.
The recipient of the award
must have worked for the
advancement of women and
women's causes inside
and outside the Party.
In the tradition of Agnes
MacPhail, the recipient of
the award may also have
been a role model for other
women, by exhibiting lead-
ership on issues that may not
exclusively be seen as wom-
en's issues.
"Fran McQuail is exactly
the kind of woman that
Agnes MacPhail got involved
in politics to represent and
to speak for," said former
NDP candidate Grant Rob-
ertson. Challenging that
power and fighting for
change. Creating alternative
economic levers that create
wealth in and for communi-
ties. These are not slogans, or

what we celebrate with this
award than Fran McQuail."
Agnes took on many
causes and championed
many important issues, but
always central to her think-

learned living and working
amongst rural women,. Rob-

"Fran exemplifies this
spirit," he said. "She is
strong, compassionate and a
tireless worker for the under-
