History
The original Women’s Auxiliary was formed in 1907 when the Duchess of York Chapter of the Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire disbanded and its members became the auxiliary to the Moose Jaw General Hospital, now known as the Women’s Auxiliary to the Moose Jaw Union Hospital. The Auxiliary is a member of the Provincial Hospital Association. The main objective of the Women’s Auxiliary is to improve and upkeep the hospital facilities and its staff. Funds are raised mainly through membership drives, teas, bake sales, bridge parties, fashion shows and displays
