Why I Created This Blog

NOTE TO MY READERS AND FOLLOWERS : I have been writing this blog on Ottawa Women's History since 2008. As of October 2012, the blog contains 318 entries and profiles over 500 exceptional women. The blog will be on hiatus for an undetermined period of time. Thank you for your support and interest over the years!

By virtue of its historical role as the capital of Canada, Ottawa has been a land of opportunity for many “female firsts” and other exceptional contributions from Canadian women.

My blog profiles women who were born in Ottawa, or moved to Ottawa at some point in their life either to work or to study. They all connect in some way to Ottawa's history or institutions, to our country's development or to Canada's place on the world stage.

Started in 2008, the "Mentors and Milestones" blog is an ongoing personal project with a simple goal: to celebrate the story of women in Ottawa, from Ottawa, — as makers of history, through time and throughout the world.

Many of the women featured on my blog have reached historical milestones; all are women of vision and influence — mentors — who leave a trail of light that captures our imagination.

My blog presents "snapshots" of these women's lives, and therefore the entries are not to be considered complete by any means. I invite you to contact me should you find that some details could be added.
