About
What is a Tweedsmuir?
A Tweedsmuir is essentially a history book made in the form of a scrapbook to document the history of a Women’s Institute branch. This was named after Lady Tweedsmuir who started the trend of creating history books in the W.I.
Why are they important?
They are important because they preserve the history of these branches and show how one organization impacts the community around them in positive ways.
What does the Tweedsmuir seminar entail?
This seminar is to teach YOU about the history of Tweedsmuirs and how it all started. By the end, you will know enough about Tweedsmuirs to hopefully make your own!
Provincially mandated Covid-19 protocols in place.
