Biographical history
Una Shecter was born April 30, 1903. She received her teaching diploma from McGill University's MacDonald College in 1918, a Bachelor of Science from Teachers College at Columbia University in 1932, and a Masters of Arts at McGill University in 1939. In her early days of teaching, she hosted English classes for refugees at the Congregation Shaar Hashomayim. She became a member of the Protestant Board of School Commissioners and taught at the Jewish People's School in Montreal from 1942 until her retirement in 1966. She returned to the schoolboard in the early 1970s to help improve and update the English curriculum. Shecter passed away in 1987.
