An account of the women working in high-security, dangerous conditions making bombs in Scarborough and Ajax during the Second World War.

What was it like to work in a Canadian Second World War munitions factory? What were working conditions like? Did anyone die?

Come out and learn more. Meet and hear the author Barbara Dickson tell the story.
