The Bomb Girls Legacy Foundation is striving to establish a museum and education centre in an original GECO property. The efforts to preserve and celebrate these remarkable contributions extend beyond educational initiatives and artifacts. Our foundation is committed to creating spaces that honor the resilience and dedication of Canada’s war workers, ensuring their stories are not forgotten. By fostering a deeper understanding of their sacrifices, we aim to inspire future generations to value community, innovation, and unity. Furthermore, these projects serve as a bridge to connect the past with the present, demonstrating how history shapes identity and societal values.
Of course, there is much work to be done to make this happen, including a major fund-raising campaign. The museum will allow Canada's public including school children, to learn more about what it was like to work in a war-time factory. A mock-up fuse-filling workshop, media displays, and a gallery wall of bomb girl biographies and quilts are just a few of the endeavours we are pursuing.
