Wm. Dominick Gregg & Co. was a hardware and general merchant in Montreal in the late 1870s.

Founded in 1906 as a merger of the McGill Women’s Club (1905) and the McGill Women’s Union (circa 1900) the Women’s Associates of McGill University was an organization primarily for the wives and daughters of McGill University administrators, faculty and leadership. The official mandate of the McGill Women’s Associates was to “to furnish… the interests and activities of social life of McGill University…”.

Many of the social events and activities mentioned were reflective of their times, during the war years the organization raised funds by buying war bonds as well as knitting projects and correspondence to frontline forces in the world wars. Peacetime activities included book sales, tea soirees and philanthropic endeavours such as providing scholarships. The fonds extends well past the first half of the twentieth century and up to 2007 reflecting the activities of the organization. The organization has changed its name several times (McGill Women’s Club, McGill Women’s Union, Women’s Associates of McGill University) and has remained an important part of McGill’s history.

The Women’s Centennial Committee was founded in 1983 in order to organize series of events for the celebration of the past and present achievements of women at McGill University. The festivities started on 11 September 1984, one hundred years after Lord Strathcona wrote a letter to Sir William Dawson, Principal of McGill University, to establish and sustain a college for Women. The Women’s Centennial Committee was chaired by Arlene Gaunt. Students, staff, graduates and friends were participating in year long plan in order to highlight the role of women at McGill. To this event a book Fair Shake of thirty autobiographies of McGill women was published documenting hundred years of women students at the University.

In 1916 the Women's Canadian Club of Montreal formed a committee to compile a register of unemployed English-speaking women in the city willing to work as replacements for enlisted men. This Women's War Register was modelled on similar groups in Great Britain and Toronto, and functioned until the end of the War. Its chairman was Ethel Hurlbatt, Warden of Royal Victoria College.
