Our History
This memorial plaque was erected in 1927 at Windsor Station in Montreal to honour Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) publicist, Colonel George Ham. He financed a CPR train trip by 16 Canadian women journalists to the St. Louis World Fair in 1904 and was instrumental in encouraging the founding of the Canadian Women’s Press Club.
