Campbell's Corner WIF59

Campbell's CornerFrom 1925 to 2004, the Campbell’s Corner Women’s Institute served the community on the outskirts of the town of Hanover, Ontario. During the First World War, the women of Campbell’s Corner organized a Red Cross sewing and knitting club to aid in war relief efforts. As the need for Red Cross initiatives dwindled after the war, the women decided to continue their good work and founded the Campbell’s Corner Women’s Institute. Over the course of the next 79 years, this Branch made significant material and financial donations to the Red Cross, war efforts, disaster and war relief efforts, the hospital, the Owen Sound Children’s Shelter, and other charities. The group also made substantial improvements to the Campbell’s Corner School sponsoring, curtains, first-aid kits, a furnace, and a school bell. Campbell’s Corner is located at the intersection of Grey County Road 4 and Grey County Road 28 on the eastern edge of the town of Hanover.
