Marion Powell

Marion G. Powell (December 21, 1923 – December 21, 1997) was a Canadian physician and medical missionary. Throughout her life, she earned the title of the "mother of birth control in Canada", because of her work in advocating for sex education and birth control. One of her most notable accomplishments is her contribution to helping open one of the first "municipally funded" clinics for birth control in Ontario in 1966. She is also celebrated for her work at the Women's College Hospital (WCH) Bay Centre for Birth Control where she was the Director from 1981 to 1990. Provided by Wikipedia
