The QWI Cairn
The QWI Cairn was installed at Dunham, the birthplace of the Quebec Women's Institutes.
On July 15, 1964, a special ceremony was
held at Dunham when the plaque was unveiled by Mrs. McElroy, Charter
Member of Dunham WI. Mrs. Gordon Brown, daughter of Mrs. Beach, read the
minutes of the first meeting and Mrs. Harvey gave a history of the WI. Greetings were given from Mr. Glendon
Brown, M.L.A., Mr. J. J. Bertrand, M.P.P.Q.C., Mme P. C. LeBeau, Department of
Agriculture and representative from the Historic Sites and Monuments Board. Read more.
