Administrative history
The Northwestern Ontario Women’s Decade Council (NOWDC) was a feminist organization formed in 1976 to carry on the work begun by the Northwestern Ontario International Women’s Year Co-ordinating Council. The Decade Council was based in Thunder Bay. They focused on serving as a resource for, and a liaison between, area women’s group, in order to improve the economic, social and political status of women. They also provided technical assistance and resources to emerging women’s groups and to individual women working on women’s issues. This support was provided by a non-partisan volunteer-based organization composed of representatives of district women’s groups as well as individuals, serving communities of Kenora, Sioux Lookout/Hudson, Dryden, Red Lake, Atikokan, Marathon, Manitouwadge, Nipignon, Terrace Bay, Thunder Bay and surrounding townships, Geraldton and Big Trout Lake. NOWDC sponsored conferences and published materials, including audiovisual materials.
Custodial history
Materials were all commissioned by the Northwestern Ontario Women's Decade Council (NOWDC), who employed the Thunder Bay based company Watershed Film Production (then owned and operated by John Timmerman) to film and assist with production. Tapes were donated to Archives and Special Collections in late 2006 by Leni Untinen, co-ordinator of the NOWDC.
Scope and content
This fonds contains audiovisual materials produced by the Northwestern Ontario Women's Decade Council (NOWDC), including recordings of conferences and produced resource videos used for distribution.
