Women’s Labour History in Vancouver: a Virtual Walking Tour
Speaker: Natasha Fairweather
Join us for a virtual walking tour of women’s labour history in Vancouver! Natasha Fairweather will be our tour guide, showing us the historic sites where women’s work built communities, challenged authorities, supported families, and — sometimes quietly, sometimes loudly — made history. Unlike most walking tours, this one will be vividly illustrated with videos and historic audio and photos. Stay warm and dry while you hear stories of cannery workers desegregating their own workplaces, a switchboard operator who saved a labour leader from being thrown off a ledge, the small feminist union that changed the rules for everyone, and much more.
Natasha Fairweather (she/elle) is the Project Manager at the BC Labour Heritage Centre, where she manages the Oral History Project, the Walking Tour Project, and the School Curriculum Project.
