The Woman Who Keeps Nellie McClung Alive | Winnipeg News
Description
Gillian Potvin, a Manitou native and tireless advocate for Nellie McClung’s legacy, has spent nearly a decade bringing the suffragist’s story to life through the Nellie McClung Museum. Inspired by her mother’s ties to the town and surrounded by local tributes, Potvin blends museum work with creative flair—hosting high tea events, spotlighting 1920s fashion as a window into women’s evolving freedom, and even launching her own vintage furniture rental business, Nellie’s Parlour, to fund museum projects. With upcoming exhibits, a revamped website, and a new logo on the horizon, Potvin proves that one passionate individual can keep history alive and relevant for future generations.
