The "Paid Part-Time Workers Campaign" was an appeal through the federal Department of Labour, National Selective Service, Women's Division, Employment and Selective Services Office (Halifax) to "home women to accept paid part-time positions in essential civilian services". The campaign was also supported by the Local Council of Women (Halifax) and the Mayor of Halifax, Mr. J.E. Lloyd.
