People/Subject

Winter, Constance (nee Jervis)

Constance Jervis was born in Vancouver on March 25, 1915 to Dr. James and Mavis Jervis, nee Skillacorn. The family lived in Alberta for a few years before moving to Langley, where Dr. Jervis became Langley's first veterinarian. Connie married Roger C. Winter (August 9, 1913-January 11, 1997) in 1944, and they had 3 children, Jim, Barbara, and Peggy. Connie was a schoolteacher in Langley. During her time as the president of the Langley Teachers Association she challenged (and won) the school board to have equal pay for female teachers. The Knowledge Network's documentary series "Working People: A History of Labour in BC" features a vignette on Connie Jervis and a school strike (the middle episode, near the end). Connie was one of the founding members of the docent group at the Langley Centennial Museum in 1974, and volunteered for many years. Connie Winter passed away on July 26, 1998.
