| Fonctions : | Item part of Mary Fix's papers. Mary Fix was born in Ottawa in 1896. She graduated from Osgoode Hall Law School in 1918 and became the first woman lawyer in Ottawa. As a woman lawyer she did not get important cases so she went into business and became a buyer for a clothing store in Ottawa. She married Albert Fix in 1931 and settled in Toronto Township. While living in Toronto Township she wrote magazine articles and raised show dachshunds until her husbands passing in April of 1945. After Albert's death she became interested in local politics and in 1953 she became Deputy-Reeve of Toronto Township, the first woman to enter politics in the township. She was elected Reeve in 1955 and re-elected in 1957 and 1958. In 1959 she became the first woman Warden of Peel County, and was again elected Reeve in 1961. She was also a member of the Library Board and a founding member of the Toronto Township Historical Society which helped restore and govern the Bradley House Museum. |
