Myrtle Brown – Women’s Institute Life Membership Dear Myrtle As the excitement of another Christmas mounts and the spirit of joy and wonderment reaches into the hearts of everyone, we, your friends and fellow W.I. members have joined here tonight to confer one of the highest honors unto you – Life Membership. Your association with the local Branch goes back many years. You have served the Women’s Institute very well, acting in the capacity of numerous convenerships; PRO, District Director and President. It was during your term of office as president that the Institute corrected many of its errors. This we attribute to the fact that you strongly believe in attending conventions and conferences, as this is where one learns the proper procedures for W.I. work. We can recall several instances where you guided the members into proper duties and procedures at meetings and convenerships. For this we are greatly thankful. You have always been a unifying presence; helping and praising the work of the W.I. One of our best promoters, you are always ready to tell any woman that she is missing by not being a member. You are a strong advocator of 4H, having served as leader for many years and years. We all admire your warm smile and friendly nature. All your efforts are reflected in the warmth and affection you hold in our hearts. We wish you good health and many more years in the W.I. Sincerely Your W.I. friends Submitted by Noreen Desjardins, March 1988 .

  • Of Ontario's Members of Provincial Parliament, with Reference To
    Welcome to the Family Business: The “Interconnectedness” of Ontario’s Members of Provincial Parliament, with reference to Ontario, Manitoba, Quebec, Michigan and New York by Waqas Iqbal 2008‐2009 Intern, Ontario Legislature Internship Programme (OLIP) 1303A Whitney Block, Queen's Park, Toronto, Ontario M7A 1A1 Phone: (416) 833‐1547 Email: [email protected] www.olip.ontla.on.ca Paper presented at the 2009 Annual Meeting of the Canadian Political Science Association, Ottawa, Ontario, Wednesday, May 27th, 2009 ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank Professor Henry Jacek and the OLIP administration for their patience and advice, my family for bearing with my academic meanderings, and my friends for their commiseration. 1 ABSTRACT This paper attempts to ascertain, by comparing between C. Wright Mills’ “power elite” model of governance with the “family capital model,” whether there exists in Canada a ruling class, with special reference to the province of Ontario. I will first choose and define significant elements of Mills’ conception of “ruling elite” or “power elite,” including “the higher circle,” “the very rich,” and “the corporate rich,” before going on to discuss the networks that govern the ruling elite. I will then provide an empirical comparison between publically documented familial relations with and between elected members of Ontario’s Legislative Assembly and those of Ontario’s surrounding state‐level assemblies, including Manitoba, Quebec, Michigan and New York. I will conclude with some suggestions of what areas of the question may benefit from further research. Not too long ago, I heard Justin Trudeau speak at an Economic Club of Canada breakfast lecture.
