The book is now available, with stories of
Women's Institute's contributions to British Columbia's development that include providing libraries, building community halls, and establishing two provincial children's hospitals. These hospitals continue to provide medical help for the children of the province and receive support by B.C. Women's Institute.
During two world wars, their record of service emerges as second to none. As a group they raised money and donated food and clothing to provide comfort for the war-weary European people. At the same time, their support for overseas personnel was generous and unfailing.
Stories of laughter and tears are accompanied by photos and factual accounts of the accomplishments of the members of the organization. Their journey from 1909 to ther 100th birthday in 2009 also chronicles their part in the development of British Columbia from the frontier era to today's modern era.
