Currently, there is no standard Canadian school curriculum promoting work carried out on the home front during the Second World War. We are working with all levels of the Canadian government to update the syllabus for all tiers of education – from kindergarten to high school. The Bomb Girls Legacy Foundation is working to produce a series of books geared towards young adults – twelve to eighteen years of age. “Diamond Girls Adventures” will feature stories of actual Canadian Bomb Girls who served their country on the home front. The first book in the series, tentatively entitled, “Loose Lips Sink Ships” will tell the story of a 16-year-old girl who dropped out of high school to work at the Scarborough factory as their first secretary in March 1941. We are also working with a graphic designer to produce a series of comic books, tentatively titled “The (Miss)Adventures of Canada’s Bomb Girls.” These comic books will depict a typical day in the life of a bomb girl, working in a wartime factory.
