Canadians!

I have an assignment for you this weekend.

What is THE MOST CANADIAN thing you own?

It can be anything. A book, a garment, a food item, a tool, a decorative object, a cd, anything.

The RCAF refused her application.

She went on to become an award-winning pilot and the first woman to fly professionally in the Arctic and the first woman in Canada to be promoted to the rank of Captain.

Celebrate Women's History by reading about the historic women of Kawartha Lakes, like Molly Beall Reilly (1922-1980):

Born Moretta Fenton Beall on February 25, 1922 in Lindsay, Molly wanted to joint the Royal Canadian Air Force as soon as she graduated high school.

Cecily throws the piece of toast she does have directly in Tamsin’s face. β€œDid you hear that, No One?” she says. β€œYou stole my toast!”

As Miss Beale marches Cecily out of the dining hall, Sarah turns to me. β€œWe could at least tell Miss Beale. You were talking to someone.”

β€œYes, Miss. Someone has stolen the nourishment of my spirit, and so I reject the nourishment of the physical. I cannot have one without the other.”

β€œI am certain that no one has stolen your toast,” Miss Beale counters.

Miss Beale glances skyward, breathing deeply and composing herself. Patience of Job and all that. β€œCecily, is it wise of you to reject any nourishment at all?” she asks.
