History
Sisters United, formerly Sisters in Society, began as the Women’s Committee. It was initially formed at a time when Ontario Hydro began hiring greater numbers of women into Society jobs. They were becoming a significant Society demographic but “unseen” in terms of Society involvement. The fledgling Committee’s first organizing event aimed specifically at women was an after-work wine and cheese party. Back then The Society was run by a 10-person Executive. Leslie Forge and Fay Greenholtz both served on this Executive and Fay became the first female Society President. There was an effort to recruit women into Society Committees, including the creation of Committees focused on what were considered to be women’s issues – the Work and Family Committee and an Employment Equity Committee. These replaced the Women’s Committee and included male members. In 2018, following the renaming of our union, this committee was renamed Sisters United.
