In this final edition of my column, we conclude the IODE Maple Leaf history by looking at our last 26 years.

Stepping back and visualising the years from 1960 through to 1999, many will recall that these decades brought about some radical social and cultural changes.

Founded before women could vote in 1901 by Margaret Polson Murray, the IODE club was a revolutionary idea during this time and is now celebrating 125 years.
