Biography / Administrative history

Grace Tucker was born in London, England, and came to Canada in 1905. She was educated in Peterborough, Ont. and after several years in secretarial work she entered the Anglican Women's Training College in Toronto.

Following her graduation from college, Tucker was assigned to Vancouver, B.C., for work among Japanese-Canadians. From 1942 to 1946 she was a welfare worker at Slocan Relocation Centre in the interior of British Columbia. In 1946 the Anglican Church assigned her to Toronto where she helped with the re-settlement of Japanese-Canadians in various parts of Ontario, until 1952. She later moved to Prince Albert, Sask., where she worked with the Anglican Church until her retirement in 1967.
