We Lend a Hand: The Forgotten Story of Ontario Farmerettes is coming to The Regent Theatre on June 08 @ 7:00 PM. An in person film discussion with director Colin Field and author Bonnie Sitter will take place after the screening!
We Lend a Hand is a 49-min documentary which reveals the true and forgotten story of the Ontario Farm Service Force. It put 40,000 volunteer teenage girls to work between 1941 and 1952, arriving from different parts of Ontario and Quebec to many locations in Southwestern Ontario. They were called The Farmerettes. Their job: to ensure critical food production during the most perilous period of modern history.
