History
Nursing Sister Georgie H. Colley, resident of the Montreal suburb of Westmount, was particularly involved in the Canadian Nurses Association of Montreal as secretary. After the Canadian Nurses’ Association was founded in 1908, she was among those who attended the International Congress of the International Council of Nurses in London in 1909. In the Montreal organization, she also was a convenor for the Montreal General Hospital, for the Griffintown Club of the Association and for its Mother’s Friendly Club in Griffintown, a section of Montreal. She wrote several articles for “The Canadian Nurse and Hospital Review,” including one in 1905 on “District Nursing” and another in 1908 on “Visiting Nursing.” As of the 1921 Census, she was single and living in Westmount with her two sisters.
