- History / Biographical
- Henekh /Henry Morgentaler was born in Poland in March 1923. As a youth during World War II he was imprisoned at the Lodz Ghetto and later at the Dachau concentration camp. After the war Morgentaler emigrated to Canada and entered medical practice, becoming one of the first Canadian doctors to perform vasectomies, to insert intrauterine devices, and to provide birth control pills to unmarried women. He opened his first abortion clinic in 1969 in Montreal, eventually opening eight clinics in cities across Canada, and training more than one hundred doctors. As a pro-choice advocate he fought numerous legal battles challenging the constitutionality of the federal abortion law; losing in 1975, but winning the second time, in 1988.In 2008, Morgentaler was awarded the Order of Canada 'for his commitment to increased health care options for women, his determined efforts to influence Canadian public policy and his leadership in humanist and civil liberties organizations.' Morgentaler died at the age of 90 in May 2013. (The Morgentaler details are abridged from the Wikipedia entry under his name.)

- History / Biographical
- The SSBFF was approached by the Plum Coulee centenary committee in 2001, as Saidye Bronfman was born there to a family that would become well-known in the area. Her father, Samuel Rosner, settled in Plum Coulee in the late 19th century, opening a store and serving as mayor before relocating his family to Winnipeg in 1908, where Saidye later met Samuel Bronfman. The centenary committee reached out to the SSBFF to request support for the Pathways 2000 project, which aimed to create heritage and recreational amenities in the town. With their support, the community established the Saidye Rosner Bronfman Heritage and Recreational Park.

- History / Biographical
- The Saidye Bronfman Award for Excellence in the Crafts was founded in 1977 by Saidye's children Minda de Gunzberg, Phyllis Lambert, Edgar Bronfman, and Charles Bronfman in honour of her eightieth birthday. The program ran successfully for thirty years, filling a niche for funding Canadian craft (i.e. pottery, furniture making, textiles, glassblowing) as an art form and encouraging a recognition not previously seen in Canadian galleries and museums. The SSBFF collaborated with the Canadian Crafts Council (Canada Council) to administer the competition and select the recipients. In 1997, the Canada Council for the Arts and the Canadian Museum of History took over the responsibility, and in 2007, the Saidye Bronfman Award was transferred to the Canada Council's Governor General's Awards in Visual and Media Arts.
