Kitchener Women's History
Advertisement
A women’s history walking tour in Kitchener to ‘broaden’ your experience of local history!
Women have a had a major impact on the development of Kitchener, but you rarely hear those stories in the local history books.
Stroll the streets and neighbourhoods of Downtown Kitchener to meet a teacher who took on the task of establishing kindergarten in Canada, a newcomer who made vegetarian cooking popular in a meat & potatoes town, the first woman doctor, a violent strike that almost overshadowed women’s issues and the women from the Caribbean who worked out of sight as domestic workers in big houses. And many more!
Skill testing question… has Kitchener ever had a woman mayor?
Join us to learn more about the local women’s history that books didn’t teach you! You’ll be inspired by the stories of Kitchener women and leave feeling empowered by their resistance and resilience.
