Manitoba Women Institute celebrates eighty years and day
Agriculture Minister Glen Findlay proclaims February 19 as Womens Institute Day marking the 80th anniversary in 1990. The Manitoba WI began in 1910 with chapters in Morris Swan River Birtle and Deloraine. The organization promotes education, health care, environment and agricultural concerns while supporting rural women through study groups and local lobbying. The April provincial convention at the International Inn Winnipeg will celebrate Together Women Achieve.
