In 1938, Elsie Gregory MacGill arrived in Fort William, Ontario (now Thunder Bay). She was ready to start a new and exciting position as Chief Aeronautical Engineer at Canadian Car and Foundry (now Bombardier).
Elsie left the region suddenly in 1943, but a chance to discuss her incredible life as a a woman of many firsts, a famous war personality during the Second World War, and a prominent Canadian feminist will take place at the Thunder Bay Historical Museum on December 22nd, 2014 at 7pm!
I am looking forward to sharing this incredible story with you!
Cheers,
Crystal

Amazing Night at BPW Book Launch!
The book launch with BPW Ottawa was a wonderful evening! Many thank to all the members of BPW Ottawa who organized such a wonderful event at Ottawa City Hall. It was a great evening of socializing, and sharing the incredible accomplishments and life story of Elsie Gregory MacGill.
Elsie was definitely with us in spirit as a former Toronto Business and Professional Women's Club member, a former Ontario Provincial President and National President! To share her story with BPW members and guests was a honour.
