On September 21, the Shirley Women’s Institute celebrated its 90th anniversary by planting a Magnolia tree in Pioneer Park in Shirley.
Chuck Minten (supporter) and Martha Moore (member of WI), helped with the planting.
The brief ceremony was followed by refreshments in the Shirley Hall where an exhibit, assembled by the Sooke Region Museum, was on display detailing the history of the Shirley Women’s Institute.
