Have you seen the new Canada Post Remembrance Day stamp?

📫 The stamp features a photo of four members of the Farmerettes Brigade in Thedford, Ontario, in 1945. The Ontario Farm Service Force’s Farmerette Brigade was key in feeding Canadians and the war effort.

As we remember those who served this Remembrance Day, we’re thinking about the hardworking Ontarians who kept farm production going during wartime. Ontario women stepped up through the Farm Service Corp as “farmerettes” to feed the war effort.

Thank you, Senator Black!!

[Senator Rob Black, P. Ag. (Hon) @SenatorRobBlack]

This morning, I had the honour of attending an early screening of We Lend a Hand: The Forgotten Story of Ontario Farmerettes. This powerful documentary tells the extraordinary story of the important but overlooked young women who volunteered to support our province during the second world war by working on farms. In October, I stood in the Senate to recognize these hard working and devoted Farmerettes who embodied resilience, commitment, and the ability to rise to the occasion. Their legacy lives on in the vibrant role that women continue to play in farming and agricultural innovation.

I encourage everyone to learn more about their story at https://t.co/5TxbyNAqmJ or read my statement from the Chamber at https://t.co/7oCPYGQpfg
