Dr. Della Stanley, retired professor of Canadian History and Canadian Studies who taught at
Queen’s University, Saint Mary’s University and Mount Saint Vincent University will captivate us

about her unique connection with the history of the Canadian Flag, her father having supplied
the initial design. On September 18, she will share with us her interest in Elsie Reford who
along with Lady Drummond founded the Canadian Women’s Club in Montreal in 1907, and who
in middle age, adopted a new passion – gardening. -
