THUNDER BAY — From an early age, Elizabeth Wieben took to the skies, earning her pilots licence when she was just 17 and during a time when women aviators have far fewer opportunities than men.“Not just for my career, but for other people doing different things, they had to have a lot of resilience to go back and try again and try again in order to get where you were going,” Wieben said. “I am grateful for the help I received along the way.
“It’s very important to highlight the accomplishments of women in the region. In the exhibit we get a lot of women from different walks of life, different professions, and women the general public would not have heard about,” said Christina Wakefield, a city associate archivist. And while these contributions are still being felt today, getting to this point was not an easy road, as many of the women faced challenges and barriers along the way.
Throughout her life, Wieben has lived and worked in Canada, Australia, and the United States and for more than 20 years taught aviation business and flying at Confederation College.
