Trailblazers:

Canadian Women in Community Leadership

   ‘… pursue your goals, whatever they might be and despite what others might say.  We are not alone.  Beside every successful woman is a group of supportive friends and respectful colleagues.  Our belief in one another is what unites us and encourages us to be our best.  I truly believe that as women we have a rich and enduring past, an exciting present and a very hopeful future!”

Sarah McLachlan in the book From Lilith to Lilith Fair by B. Childerhose (on page XV of the Foreword). Used with permission.

 

    This is an English Language Arts and Canadian Studies project.  Students from elementary to high school grades will find this site useful.  This "Trailblazers" project will help you to study some important women in Canadian history.

Front Page Credits:    The quote came from Childerhose, B. (1998).From Lilith to Lilith Fair.  Vancouver: Madrigal Press.   The photo of Sarah was taken by Kharen Hill in 1997and can be seen with many other pictures at the Official Sarah McLachlan site. The name "The Trailblazers Project" was conceived in September 1999 and the concept was approved for funding by GrassRoots soon afterwards; while we are not affiliated with author Judith Findlayson and her September 1999 book entitled Trailblazers: Women Talk About Changing Canada, published by Bantam Books Canada, we do share her philosophy that girls and women need more role models.
