Mrs. Linda Little became Canada's fifth Supreme Deputy on April 1, 1988, upon the retirement of Mrs. Mary C. Holdsworth, who had been Canada's Supreme Member since 1956. Mum Little became involved with Rainbow in the early 1970s when her older daughter Cheryl joined Hamilton Assembly #1. She joined the Advisory Board in 1974 and received her Grand Cross of Colour in 1978. She served as Mother Advisor for the 1979-1980 year. In 1982, Mum Little was appointed to the Senior Grand Executive Committee and remained a member until 1988, when she became Supreme Deputy. During her years as Canada's Supreme Member, Mum Little instituted some enduring Canadian traditions. The first is Rainbow Treasures, Canada's Rainbow newsletter, which is still circulating today. The second is Grandy Camp, which has become a very important event in Canada's Rainbow year -- second only to Grand Assembly. |
