Thank you to Elizabeth Patterson from the Cape Breton Post for stopping by for a visit and helping spread the word to the greater community about the Cape Breton Women's Gallery project.

In 2018 the Cape Breton Women’s Gallery grew by three, each woman a pioneer in their respective fields, in business, in entertainment, and in wellness. These women are Eileen Swift Cook, Joella Foulds, and Ruth Boutilier.

We encourage you to stop by the lobby of the New Dawn Centre located at 37 Nepean Street in Sydney, to read about the wonderful things they have done and the achievements they have made that make Cape Breton a vibrant place to live.
