CELEBRATING WOMEN: A Sheet Harbour event to mark International Women’s Day (IWD) March 8 included a session called, Then and Now – A Discussion On How Times Have Changed. Myrene Keating-Owen (left), executive director of LEA Place Women’s Resource Centre; Lindsay Pye, support systems navigator at LEA Place; and beloved community member Gladys Westhaver shared their thoughts and helped lead the discussion. Westhaver, a Sheet Harbour native and mother of four children, has been a go-to person for years, lending a hand in many ways, including as a hairdresser, along with cooking, baking, sewing and filling out forms for people. She worked for a short time at the Sheet Harbour Historical Society, gathering and recording peoples’ stories. There was a great turnout for the celebration, which was organized by LEA Place. Full story in this week's edition.
