Please join the Ontario Heritage Trust — hosted by the Town of Lincoln — as we unveil a provincial plaque to honour the Farmerettes. The plaque will be permanently installed following the ceremony.

This plaque commemorates a unique group of young women called the Farmerettes. From 1941-52, an estimated 40,000 young women, aged 16-18, from across Ontario’s secondary schools and beyond joined the Farmerette Brigade to perform essential seasonal agricultural work. They were central to food security at a critical moment and made significant contributions to the agricultural sector of the provincial economy.

We invite you to attend the film screening of We Lend a Hand at 1 p.m. The multi-award-winning 50-minute documentary captures the story of the Farmerettes. Film tickets must be purchased in advance.
