National Council of Women of Canada (NCWC)
The National Council of Women of Canada lobbied for wide-ranging reforms that helped build this country's social safety net. This large network of local, provincial and federal councils had its beginnings in 1893 at a meeting held near here, in the original Horticultural Pavilion. At a time when only a few women could vote - and then only in municipal elections - women learned political skills and found a political voice through the NCWC. They made their presence felt, campaigning for legal equality between men and women, protection for children, and other programs of benefit to Canadian families.
