On Saturday, a group gathered at the Museum for the much anticipated "Pink Tea" and Kathy Coutts took us back in time to 1916.

We sipped tea and talked about the suffrage movement and the possibility of women actually succeeding in getting the right to vote. Brave guest speakers that are well informed about the cause were called upon to talk and answer questions.

Young girls, mothers and grandmothers were there under the guise of discussing books and such. A few men, sympathetic to the cause also risked being discovered and participated in the tea.

Yes, that is what it was like 100 years ago.

2016 is the 100th Anniversary of Women's Right to Vote. This interesting and enlightening exhibit at our Okotoks Museum and Archives, came as a recommendation from the public. The exhibit also celebrates the Okotoks women who have served in public office.

The knowledgeable staff there will be happy to answer your questions and provide you with so much interesting background and information on this topic.
