Weyburn SK Statue to Pioneer Women

One group of pioneers that has been overlooked is our female ancestors. Weyburn Saskatchewan has commissioned and erected a sculpture, and is now working on an ebook to remember and commemorate those women and their stories. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/new-sculpture-honours-pioneer-women-in-weyburn-sask-1.3310354

Here's an explanation of the beginnings of this idea http://www.weyburnreview.com/news/local-news/new-statue-to-be-raised-in-honour-of-pioneer-women-1.1462644

Contact information is in the link above. Looks like the Weyburn Public Library would be able to help. They are looking for input for their ebook. Anyone have a story to share with them? What is not clear to me is if they want stories ONLY from Weyburn area? Anyone know?




Cheers,
Pat
