Anna Stewart Memorial Project 2018
Anna Stewart worked passionately and tirelessly to involve women directly in deciding on principles and priorities to put before unions and government in order to achieve real quality of status and opportunity for women. Her efforts achieved more in less than a decade working in the union movement than most of us will in a lifetime. Anna’s work encapsulated her remarkable vision of women’s lives—as they were—as she hoped they would be. Her commitment was expressed through all possible channels but particularly through the political and industrial wings of the labour movement.
The Anna Stewart Memorial Project is designed to encourage more women to be present and active in unions. The structured two week long internship program consisting of two days each week at Trades Hall, with the remaining days spent in a union of choice. This year the program will run from May 28th – June 1st (week 1) and August 27th – August 31st (week 2).
