Woodford WIF56
Woodford, the small community on highway 26, located between Owen Sound and Meaford, formed a Women’s Institute in 1928 with 40 members. Many courses were offered, such as ‘rug hooking’ and ‘copper tooling’. The Institute also raised money for numerous projects, including building a new wing on the hospital and sponsoring a doctor in Tobermory. The Institute was very active throughout the 40s and 50s in raising funds for a community centre. The Women’s Institute branch operated for 73 years, until 2001. There are two Tweedsmuir volumes, the first containing many newspaper clippings from area newspapers and the second containing many histories of local people and places.
