REEL Thursdays
We Lend a Hand – The Forgotten Story of Ontario Farmerettes
Thursday | November 13, 2025 | 7 p.m. | Living Arts Centre – Screening Room

Told from Bonnie’s perspective, We Lend a Hand reveals the true and forgotten story of the Ontario Farm Service Force, which put 40,000 volunteer teenage girls to work between 1941 and 1952. Arriving from different parts of Ontario and Quebec to many locations in Southwestern Ontario, the young women began this work with no prior farming experience. Their job: to ensure critical food production during the most perilous period of modern history. The remarkable contingent of young women who were called to replace the men on Canadian farms were known as the Farmerettes.

Following the screening, director Colin Fields and author Bonnie Sitter, will be onsite for an exclusive post-show talkback and audience Q&A.
