Mrs. Roy Becker and Mrs. GeorgeRiest of Kitchener on the North Waterloo Women's Institute bus tour of Northern Ontario. Waterloo Women Visit the North By Mrs. C. B. Barbour ORTY-ONE LADIES, representing ten F of North Waterloo‘s thirteen Women’s Institute branches and a few from South Waterloo, under the organizer, Mrs. George Reist. went on an educational tour to Northern Ontario in June. A chartered bus carried the women over 1200 miles. This was the fourth Women’s Institute tour Mrs. Reist had conduct- ed in four years, the others being to Ottawa. Montreal, Quebec, and New York. The group spent the first night in North Bay where they were entertained by members of the Nipissing District Institutes and welcom- ed by Mrs. Alf. Morris, Viceâ€"President and other representatives. At Timmins many questions were asked about the the new mineral find. A fireman, formerly of the Elmira District, boarded the bus as it stopped to find if he knew any of the women. Later he took them on a tour of a nearby fireball. At Thessalon, Mrs. Trivers, Provincial Presi- dent, welcomed the ladies. This was a thrill as they had expected she would be away on Institute work for the convention in Wolfville. The last night stop was at Sudbury, where the Chamber of Commerce arranged a tour of the fast growing city. The ladies were again enâ€" tertained by Institute members of the Sudbury District at an informal reception, presided over by the President, Mrs. Harold Lewis of Garson. Many of the northern members had come from twenty-five to fifty miles for the event. The ladies toured a pulp and paper mill at Iroquois Falls, Hollinger Gold Mine at Tim- mins and the Inco Smelter at Copper Cliff. The bus group was met with interest wher- ever they stopped. Passersby on the street paused to ask questions. At North Bay the deputy mayor arrived to convey greetings. Many said of their four trips they enjoyed this the most. It was truly an educational tour in learning to know Canada better.
