REMEMBRANCE DAY 2025: Women who fed a nation

Documentary ‘We Lend a Hand’ chronicles the lives of farmerettes and farm labour during the Second World War

More than 40,000 young Canadian women supported the war effort between the 1940s and early 1950s, helping grow and harvest crops amid labour shortages. They were called Farmerettes.
