NormdateiCanadian Abortion Rights Action League. Kingston Chapter.

- 1980-2000
The establishment of the Kingston branch of the Canadian Abortion Rights Action League on Thursday April 7, 1981, was in reaction to an escalation of pro-life organizing that was putting women's right to choice at risk in the region. Pro-choice activism was initiated through the Kingston Action Committee on the Status of Women in 1980, and in February of 1981 two representatives from the national organization of CARAL came to Kingston to encourage the formation of a chapter. The organization had existed nationally since 1974; their charter was to assure that "no woman is denied the right to a safe, legal abortion" and to gain recognition that the right to a safe, legal abortion is a fundamental human right.

Isabel Louise (Overton) Bader was born November 1, 1926, in Kirkland Lake, a gold mining town in Northeast Ontario, Canada. In 1949, she met Alfred Bader on a sea voyage to the United Kingdom and developed an immediate bond, but eventually parted ways. For the next 28 years, she pursued a career in teaching, co-founding a drama school, the Thalia School of Elocution and Drama, and became a skilled costume designer. Despite this long separation, the spark between Isabel and Alfred never waned, and remarkably, they eventually managed to reconnect and were finally married in 1982.
Together, Alfred and Isabel Bader became influential philanthropists, particularly supporting the arts and education. They generously contributed to the University of Toronto (U of T) and Queen’s University. Notably, they played a crucial role in the construction of the Isabel Bader Theatre at U of T, along with significant donations to Queen’s. Isabel’s philanthropic vision later shifted towards supporting indigenous and immigrant communities.
Isabel passed away August 28, 2022.
