The Women's Canadian Club of Vancouver are erecting, in Stanley Park, a memorial to
Pauline Johnson, and are asking the assistance of the other Canadian Clubs throughout
the Dominion, and of the Canadian Women's Press Club. The design at present under
consideration has been prepared by Signor Marega and has for
its motif, "The Song My Paddle Sings." The figure of the poetess in the canoe is
silhouetted in bas-relief against a background of hills and trees, overhanging the
lake in front. The sum of $500 has been subscribed in the Vancouver Club, leaving
$2,800 to be subscribed by the other Canadian Associations, or by individual admirers
of Pauline Johnson's work. Contributions may be sent to Mrs. J.J. Banfied, 644 Bute
Street, Vancouver.
