Meagher was 1 of 6 first women to join 🇨🇦’s foreign service in 1947. 🇨🇦’s 1st woman ambassador (to Israel) 1958, Order of Canada, blazed trail for 🇨🇦women diplomats like me. 🙏Margaret Meagher & your many successors. Room = years-long effort of @GAC_Corporate Women's Network 2/2

Here it is, the Margaret Meagher Room and plaque unveiled by @GAC_Corporate Champion for women Sarah Taylor and Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs (for 3 more days) Ian Shugart: “It is almost unbelievable that it took us this long”. Hear, hear.
