And those stories are great—but they don't illustrate just how big a part of Canada's history programs like the West Indian Domestic Scheme really were. Thousands of women came to this country, brought their families, made Canada home and supercharged Canadian women's entry to the workforce. Why don't we view this as one of our country's building blocks?GUEST: Garvia Bailey, co-creator of Strong and Free, a Historica Canada podcast We love feedback at The Big Story, as well as suggestions for future episodes.
