Women's Land Army (Canada)

The Women's Land Army in Canada was a government-supported movement during World War II that encouraged women to work in agriculture, replacing men who went to fight. Women took on roles such as planting, harvesting, and managing farms to ensure food production continued. This initiative aimed to boost the wartime economy, support soldiers abroad, and promote gender equality in the workforce. It highlighted women's vital contributions to national efforts during a critical period, fostering new skills and increased independence while addressing labor shortages in agriculture.
