Did women have a big impact in Canada during World War II?

When the war across seas broke out in 1939 Canada was called to the front as a part of the British Empire. Canada's work force was now severely depleted. Everyone remembers the prestigious men and women of Canada for their effort in the war helping the Allied side defeat the German enemy. We must remember though that the soldiers were not a self sufficient army, navy, and air force but rather part of the larger war …

…would be unfair to try and say that one was more important then the other. The only thing that satisfies me is to know that without Canada's women on the home front, there may have been no chance to win the war. It is obvious with all the information given that by temporarily assuming non-traditional roles in the labour force and in society, Canadian women became an important part of the war effort from 1939-1945.
