Modified Organisms. Some information on the world wide

opinions on this topic could be brought to our Members of Parliament.
Citizenship

presented with the Senator Cairine Wilson Silver Rose Bowl Trophy. The award
began in 1957 when the Senator presented it for the most outstanding project in
Citizenship.
The FWIC Senator Cairine Wilson Competition for
the 2006- 2009 triennium.

do you know the history behind the men and women who have formed out
country? Can you trace your roots in Canada? By answering these questions
you will have the basis for your story or poem.
Format: The information can be in the form of a story or a poem. Your story

W hat to keep? What to send
to the Provincial Office?
What to place in our local
museum and archives? If you have
questions contact Fern at the office,
or myself.
Send to the Provincial Office
• Branch, Constituency or Dis-trict
minute books
• Home and Country - we have
some gaps, particularly in earlier is-sues
• Federated News
• The Countrywoman ACWW
magazine
• Provincial Annual Report
Books and convention minutes
• Sale items produced provin-cially
with the AWI crest
• Named and dated photo-graphs
of Provincial events.
Keep Locally
• Branch, Constituency or Dis-trict
scrapbooks
• Financial books
• Local awards of any kind -
handicraft, etc.
• Items produced by a branch
with the branch name on it e. g. cook-books
• Guest books from anniversa-ries,
local conferences etc.
If you decide to place your
minute books in your local museum, try
and ensure that they will be stored in
a safe manner. A cupboard in a local
hall, even if locked, is not a very secure
permanent storage location. Please
let the office know where your minute
books are so future historians can be
advised where they are located.
All our Provincial Council
minute books are located in the Provin-cial
Archives of Alberta in Edmonton
where they are stored in archivally safe
and temperature controlled conditions.
On request, they are available for re-search
on site. On one visit, I was able
to read the original minute book of Lea
Park WI, the first branch in Alberta!
Hopefully this will help when
you are ‘ cleaning house’ or, regrettably,
thinking of disbanding. wi
