This year we celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the
‘Retired Women Teachers of Ontario’ organization. In
1956, four female teachers, over a game of bridge, discussed
the need for the government to raise the level of pensions
for retired women teachers to the same level as their male
colleagues. What we now know as the RWTO organization
was born out of that conversation, and call to action. Their
goal would be met ten years later, and with it, the realization
that women teachers needed a voice.

High or Afternoon Tea?
High Tea usually referred to the evening meal or dinner of
the working class, typically eaten between 5pm and 7pm. It
consisted of a hot dish followed by cakes and breads, butter
and jam. The term was first used around 1825, and ‘high’ is
used in the sense of well-advanced (like ‘high-noon’) to signify
that it was taken later in the day.
In Australia, any short break for tea in the afternoon is
referred to as “Afternoon Tea”. As a result, the term “high
tea” is now used to describe the more formal affair that the
English would call “afternoon tea”.
