Reprinted from the December 3, 2009 issue of The Canadian Record
THE FIRST BAZAAR, held in 1906, was a three-day affair that netted $225. It was the brainstorm of a group of determined pioneer women in turn of the century Canadian. Determined to battle the proliferation of saloons and the evils of alcohol in their community, they founded a local chapter of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union in 1902.
