Leonore M. Saunders has done a great deal of work to better her community and to enhance the status of women. In 1974, Leonore, then President of the Winnipeg Council of Women, publicly advocated for the formation of the Manitoba Advisory Council on the Status of Women.
Leonore has made outstanding contributions to women’s equality through her dedication to the councils of women of Winnipeg, Manitoba and Canada. She has been involved in all three levels of the Council preparing resolutions, presentations and briefs to governments on such issues as immigration, prostitution, pensions, pornography and child care. She has also worked on committees dealing with the environment, home care, medicare, and urban/rural development. Always willing to challenge the status quo, Leonore is an excellent role model for women.
