P.A. poet inducted into Women’s Hall of Fame
A local writer and poet has become the most recent addition to the Prince Albert Women’s Hall of Fame.
Lynda Monahan received the prestigious honour at an afternoon tea hosted yesterday by the Prince Albert Council of Women. Monahan’s photo will join those of previous inductees on permanent display on the second floor of City Hall.
The induction was attended by several dignitaries. MLAs Nadine Wilson and Nicole Rancourt brought greetings from the provincial government and opposition, and Councillors Charlene Miller, Terra Lennox-Zepp and Evert Botha shared congratulations on behalf of the City of Prince Albert.
Chrissy Halliday, president of the Prince Albert Council of Women, said Monahan’s writing instruction helps give voices to those who may otherwise feel powerless.
