In honour of CANADA DAY I plan to post a daily image of Canada and a link to a random Canadian location we have visited.
Ottawa and Calgary
Famous Five - random post
This Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada plaque can be found on the outside wall, near the northwestern corner of Hart House, off Tower Road on the University of Toronto grounds. Here's what it says:
Graham was instrumental in establishing physiotherapy in Canada. Trained in massage and remedial gymnastics, she rehabilitated soldiers wounded in the First World War and taught at the Military School of Orthopaedic Surgery and Physiotherapy, here at Hart House. In 1929, she helped create a diploma program at the University of Toronto. Her advocacy ensured that accredited physiotherapists served as officers in the military and at convalescent hospitals during the Second World War. The Enid Graham Memorial Lecture pays tribute to this founding member of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association.
