After World War II ended in 1945

there was an influx of new families.

The "Baby Boom" had begun.

The young wives

busy with their families

needed a place where they could meet others.

It was decieded

to form a new group

in St. Augustine's Parish.

The Young Wives Association

was formed and met twice a month

for fun and socialization.

They had 30 to 35 members at each meeting.

Friendships developed and flourished.

This group was not a substitute for the CWL.

These women became active CWL members

and

because of them the CWL flourished.

During the 1950's and 60's

St. Augustine's CWL Council

became the fastest growing

and

most active Council

in the Province of Manitoba.
