199-		 The 46th lNational Convention was held at the Toronto Bahá'í Centre from April 28th to May 2nd. Counsellor David Smith, the National Spiritual Assembly, and 148 delegates deliberated over the five day period on the requirements of entry by troops in this country.

Also present at the invitation of the National Assembly was Mrs. Peggy Ross, now 93 years old, a former National Spiritual Assembly member and Auxiliary Board member (at the same time even!) who has attended every Canadian Convention since its inauguration in 1948.

Those elected as members of the National Spiritual Assembly for 1994 - 95 were: Judy Filson, Reginald Newkirk, Husayn Banani, Louise Profeit-Leblanc, Enayat Rawhani, Ann Wilson, Margot Leonard, Ed Muttart and Susan Lyons. This was the first time in Canadian Baha'f history that five women have been elected. [BC Vol 7 No1 May/Jun 1994 p143-17]
