Thursday: Helena Gutteridge

I attended an event in the rain today to mark the renaming of the plaza outside City Hall as Helena Gutteridge Plaza. Helena Gutteridge was a women's activist, born in the UK, who came to Vancouver in the early 1900s and was instrumental in getting women the vote. The event was only slightly marred by there being a selfie booth.

As I was on the 'right side' of town for the event, and because our new IT is so much better than the old tin can I used to have, I used the opportunity to work from home this afternoon.
