Administrative history

The Swift Current Homemakers’ Club was a local club founded in 1931 by former members of the Victorian Order of Nurses after the V.O.N. disbanded. The women wanted to keep working together and maintain social relationships. The Club was part of the Association of Saskatchewan Homemakers’ Clubs, which was part of the Federated Women’s Institutes of Canada, which in turn was part of the Associated Country Women of the World. The objectives of the club were to help women acquire sound and approved practices for home efficiency; to develop a more abundant life in rural communities and a deeper appreciation of things near at hand; to discover and train leaders; and to develop better, happier, and useful citizens. The Club had eight committees: agriculture, arts and literature, home economics, international relations, legislation, public health and welfare. These committees arranged stimulating programming throughout the year. The money that the Club earned through occasional bazaars, teas, and rummage sales was put back into the community.
