Administrative history
The Canadian Girls in Training (C.G.I.T.) movement began in the summer of 1915 a meeting in Toronto of representatives of the Methodist, Presbyterian, Anglican and Baptist Sunday School Associations, the Canadian Council of Provincial Sunday School Associations, and the Dominion Council of the YWCA led to the establishment of the Canadian National Advisory Committee for Co-Operation in Girl’s Work. In October of 1916 the Committee published a pamphlet titled Canadian Girl’s in Training, and the program it outlined was launched across the country in the following year. The movement expanded so rapidly that by 1920 it was necessary to introduce a more formal organization which led to the establishment of committees an boards at National, Provincial and local levels. Canadian Girls in Training is still active today.
