Event Description
Pink Tea: if you know, you know, but in case you don’t…
When the Famous 5 were campaigning for women to have the right to vote and the right to run for elected office, their suffrage meetings were disrupted by their opponents. Women traditionally held teas for the birth of children, when someone left the community, or other reasons. Men didn’t attend these teas, so suffragists started calling their political meetings Pink Teas and very few opponents attended.
What the Famous 5 began, we continue! 🌺🍵 Bring a friend, colleague, or neighbour on July 4 starting at 2pm to begin a conversation of the issues most important to our community today and determine how we might take up ‘the mantle’. Free to attend!
