The rich treasury of Canadian crafts practised by Women's Institute members across Canada will be tapped this spring in a contest that honours the 90th anniversary of the W.I. in this country. W.I. members are invited to submit a craft of their own design, using any material, together with up to 200 words underscoring the craft's history and significance to the craftsperson. Deadline for entries is March 31, 1987 and prizes will be awarded at the W.I.'s regional conference this summer. Jointly sponsored by the Federated Women's Institutes Stops? Smell . the flowers! of Ontario, and Hands, the Canadian craft magazine, the contest was devised by Hands publisher Isobel Warren as a memorial to her mother, Minnie Warren Lewis, a life member of the Seymour West W.I. in south-eastern Ontario. "Crafts are the warp and weft of Canada's cultural heritage," Warren explained. "And the Women's Institutes over their 90 years of service, education and fellowship to Canadian women, are surely the loom upon which our finest craft traditions have been created and preserved. "The W.I. has always' offered craft instruction to its members, ensuring the survival of techniques that otherwise would now be extinct. "Now that crafts are enjoying a revival across Canada, it's appropriate to give the W.I. its due, reminding both the Institute and the public at large of the rich contribution the W.I. has made to Canadian crafts. Noted Canadian contralto Maureen Forrester, a keen craftsperson, will act as contest judge, together with Gina Brown of Calgary, hostess of TV's Creative Hands, and Grace Campbell, of Iona Station, Ont., a W.I. lifemember and accomplished crafter in many media.
