The Canadian Federation of University Women (North Toronto) invites you to join us
at our general meeting on October 14th, 2025, at Glenview Presbyterian Church (1
Glenview Avenue) at 7:15pm.

Our speaker is Bonnie Sitter, a writer and photographer. Her topic is “Onion Skins and
Peach Fuzz: Memories of Ontario’s Farmerettes”. A fourth-generation member of the
Hogarth family in Huron County, Bonnie traces her roots back to her great-grandfather
Septimus Hogarth, who settled in Stephen Township in 1849. After spending twenty years
in Deep River, she returned to her hometown of Exeter. Following a forty-year career in the
travel industry, she embraced retirement by pursuing her passion for photography, often
exploring the landscapes of Huron County with her husband, Conrad, and friends who
share her interests. Bonnie is also the co-author, with Shirleyan English, of Onion Skins
and Peach Fuzz: Memories of Ontario’s Farmerettes. This book highlights the
experiences of young women who earned course credits while working on local farms
through a program that ran from 1941 to 1953.
