Matsqui Patriotic Work Through Women Institute Efforts
The Matsqui Women’s Institute led Patriotic Work since August 1914 with shirts for soldiers, Red Cross and Belgian relief funds, and aid to prisoners of war. The organization collaborated with the Ridgedale Relief Association and Matsqui Red Cross Workers to fund and ship garments, towels, bandages, and supplies to Vancouver and local centres. The report notes substantial sums raised and numerous garments produced, plus community activities and local notices.
