 Since we now have two WI's in the village, I thought you might like to know a little about our organisation. The Women's Institute started in Stoney Creek, Ontario on February 19th 1897. Adelaide Hoodless, a local farmer's wife was angered by her own and other women's ignorance of childcare and nutrition. Her fourth child had died aged eighteen months and she felt that her lack of knowledge had contributed to that death. So she decided that women should have the chance to learn how to take better care of their families. And ever Since, the principle role of the WI has been as an educational movement.
-The WI came to Great Britain in 1915 with the active encouragement of the government who saw that an organisation of countrywomen could provide a valuable addition to the food supply in wartime. The first WI in this country started in Anglesey, at Llanfair PG, closely followed by Singleton and East Dean in West Sussex and by 1917 there were more than 100 WI's in England and Wales.

 At this time the basic structure of the WI was set - village WI's belong to County Federations and both are affiliated to the National Federation of Women's Institutes. Each Institute elects its own officers and committee by secret ballot; each Institute also votes for its County Federation Committee and the National Executive Committee, so every WI member has a direct effect on how her organisation is run.
