Thunder Bay’s City Archives are accepting submissions for its Women’s History Month Exhibit.
The exhibit launched in 2013 and celebrates women who have contributed to Thunder Bay’s history.
New profiles of women are added to the exhibit during Women’s History Month in October.
“I encourage you to help us recognize a woman who had an impact on our community,” said City Archivist Christina Wakefield. “We would also like to celebrate the diversity of our City by hearing and honouring the stories of Indigenous women and women of colour who enrich our lives. Contributions can include those made in the arts, business, government, community life, diversity, or any other aspect of our city’s development.”
Submissions are being accepted starting on Monday.
The deadline is July 1.
To qualify, submissions must include a brief biography highlighting the individual’s significance to Thunder Bay, along with some images.
Submissions can be emailed to archives@thunderbay.ca or submitted by mail to:
City of Thunder Bay Archives
500 Donald St. E.,
Thunder Bay, ON P7E 5V3
The successful submissions will be added to the online exhibit this October, to coincide with Status of Women Canada’s celebration of Women’s History Month.
