Inscription. The City of Temiskaming Shores
honours the contribution of the 90 years of continuous
charitable service by the women of
the IODE Haileybury Chapter (1923-2013)
Now part of the history of the area, the Chapter began in 1923 in answer to the needs of the dispossessed victims of the disastrous 1922 Haileybury Fire. It continued to support the community over the years by contributing to, amongst other projects, a hospital, a district nurse, educational, citizenship, health and social programs. In 1924 the Chapter promoted and helped fund the building of the Haileybury Cenotaph to the memory of the fallen of WWI and now includes those who died in subsequent wars in the cause of peace, justice and freedom for all.

[on the pedestal] IODE is a national women’s volunteer service organization established in 1900 in response to the crisis of the Boer War in South Africa, where it also contributed to the monument commemorating the Commonwealth dead, which included 244 Canadians. The IODE is now dedicated to providing educational, citizenship and social support to those in need across the country.

Excerpt: A women's charitable organization based in Canada. It provides scholarships, bursaries, book prizes, and awards, and pursues other philanthropic and educational projects in various communities across Canada.
In 1899, Margaret Polson Murray was in England and was swept up in the wave of patriotic support for the British Empire that followed the outbreak of the Second Boer War. On her return to Canada she immediately started to organise a woman's support group which would "place themselves in the front rank of colonial patriotism" and give practical charitable aid to soldiers, and if they were killed, support for their dependents, and care for their graves. On 13 January 1900, she sent telegrams to the mayors of major Canadian cities asking for their support for her fledgling organization which she called "Daughters of the Empire" that would also be "inviting the women of Australia and New Zealand to join with them in sending to the Queen an expression of our devotion to the Empire, and an Emergency War Fund, to be expended as Her Majesty shall deem fit." On 15 January 1900, the founding meeting of the first chapter was held in Fredericton, New Brunswick.
