Were you ever part of such programs as Homecraft clubs, Farm Girls’ Camps, Homemakers’ Clubs, short courses, field days, 4-H camps or youth training? If so you will be interested in the stories former home economics extension staff and participants share about bringing these programs to rural and northern Saskatchewan communities.
This book celebrates the amazing women who were the extension home economists who used all forms of transportation, in all types of weather conditions to provide leadership, education and encouragement to women and girls on farms, in small towns and on reserves.
