Century-old records detailing women’s right to vote for the first time in Manitoba will be on display this weekend.

The Archives of Manitoba and the Manitoba Legislative Library will commemorate the coming centennial, which is Jan. 28, by hosting an open house that displays records from the archives and publications from the library detailing the women’s suffrage movement in this province.

The open house will take place Saturday, from 12-4 p.m., in the Archives Research Room at 200 Vaughan St. The original signed legislation will also be on display at the legislature on Friday.

“This is an opportunity to celebrate a great achievement in Manitoba’s history and to get a glimpse of some important records from that time,” said Culture and Heritage Minister Ron Lemieux, in a press release.
