Description

May 19–22 Ottawa About a hundred lesbians met at Carleton University for the Ontario Lesbian Conference, sponsored by LOON. The focus of the gathering was "personal growth" for lesbians. A workshop was held on "Our Political Future" and a coffeehouse featured lesbian performers. A Lesbian Newsletter Coalition was proposed at the conference, and Sibyl Frei of Guelph, Ontario, agreed to coordinate the first issue. Unfortunately, Frei was unable to produce the newsletter, and the coalition never really came together; one six-page issue of Dyke Daily, coordinated by Peg McCuaig, was published in April 1979.
