Marion M. Graham
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marion M. Graham was a prominent citizen of Saskatoon, Saskachewan, Canada. She is the individual for whom Marion Graham Collegiate is named - a public high school in Saskatoon.
She worked tirelessly with the Canadian Air Cadet program during the 1950s. She was a member of the staff of #107 Spitfire Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron located in Saskatoon. She was the first woman to serve in the Canadian Air Force. Although she was the first woman to become an Officer in the Canadian Air Force, females would not legally be permitted to join Cadets until 30 July 1975 when an act of parliament changed the word "boys" to "persons" in pertinent legislation.
