Memoires of an Activist at St. Columba House
|
| Abstract |
Saint Columba House is a community centre in Montreal's Point Saint Charles neighbourhood. Established as a United Church of Canada outreach ministry in 1926, Saint Columba House supported people struggling through the Great Depression in the 1930s. It worked alongside local residents throughout the period of deindustrialization in the 1950s when the closing of the Lachine Canal caused widespread factory closures and great job losses to the community. The proliferation of community and women's empowerment groups in Point St. Charles in the 1960s and 1970s was frequently spearheaded by the active involvement of Saint Columba House.
