The Whaletown Women's Institute was formed in 1920 as the Friendship Circle, became a branch of the Women's Institute in 1923, and disbanded in 1963. During its years of activity, the WWI actively worked for local improvement. Projects included initiating a library service, donating books to the school, arranging for regular visits of a doctor and dentist, hosting an annual Christmas party and providing gifts for all the Whaletown children, maintaining the cemetery, fund-raising for a school playground, financing firefighting equipment and installing an emergency telephone network.
