Wilson - Vickery

Of wide interest was the quiet ceremony at Vancouver on Saturday morning, April 12th, when united in marriage Dora Grace, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Vickery of Taber, to Dr. Gordon Mclaren Wilson , son of Rev. and Mrs. G. A. Wilson of Vancouver. The groom is the grandson of Dr. E. D. McLaren.

Canadian Memorial Chapel , decorated with cherry and apple blossoms and Easter lilies, was the setting for the ceremony, at which the groom's father, assisted by G. Harrison Villett, officiated.

The bride was given in marriage by her father and Miss Joy Vickery, sister of the bride, was maid of honor. Dr. Gordon Brown of Minneapolis was best man.

A turquoise blue smart jacket frock, was worn by the bride with white accessories, and she carried a bouquet of pink roses and smilax. The maid of honor wore a complementary redingote frock of dusty rose with navy accessories and a corsage of cream roses.

Following the ceremony the bridal party gathered at the home of Rev. and Mrs. G Harrison Villett for coffee.

Dr. and Mrs. Wilson will reside at Trail after a trip to the island.

6 Dr. Patricia Mohammed (http://www.naactoronto.ca/documents/broadcast_Oct11.pdf). extract from the address:
.
.
The school was then, perhaps still, Indian female
dominated - after all it was set up by the Canadian
Presbyterian missionaries in the first decade of the
twentieth century to encourage Indian parents to send
their girls for further education where they would be
protected from the too open gaze of a multicultural
society. The long wooden colonial style Dormitory
building was an ever present visual reminder of the
days when girls who lived far away were housed on
site. As were the two still resident Canadian teachers
Constance Wagar and Joy Vickery who lived in an
apartment at the end of the dormitory building.
Tossing this memory around now, I realized that
the idea of the expatriate missionaries as caretakers
and colonial mistresses of our education, blended
imperceptibly and perhaps without conflict or
confrontation with the homegrown and homespun
familiarity of Trinidadian female teachers. My
presence here in 2011 as your dinner speaker and
the existence of chapters of alumni in Canada, are
poignant, yet defiant testimonies to a Canadian
missionary experiment in the small outpost of
Trinidad in 1868.

'
Naparima Girls’ High School curriculum was
a marriage of different worlds - the domestic and
public, the foreign and local, the Christian and
non-Christian, the formal academic with the extracurricular.
