Yet, it wasn’t until 1909 that Alice Wilson became the first Canadian female geologist. Systemic barriers prevented many women from receiving university degrees and pursuing science-related careers. Pioneers in their fields, Alice Wilson and, later, Diane Loranger, Helen Belyea and Frances Wagner helped open the doors for women to work in geology in Canada.

Ed Bickert

Edward Isaac Bickert, CM, jazz guitarist (born 29 November 1932 in Hochfeld, MB; died 28 February 2019 in Toronto, ON). Ed Bickert was Canada’s best-known jazz guitarist.

He is noted for his work with Ron Collier, Rob McConnell, Don Thompson and Moe Koffman. Bickert achieved international prominence through his work in the mid-1970s with American saxophonist Paul Desmond. A Member of the Order of Canada, Bickert won a Juno Award and multiple National Jazz Awards. He also played on dozens of Juno- and Grammy-nominated and award-winning recordings.
