The Canadian Women's Army Corps was established during World War II to release men from non-combatant roles in the Canadian armed forces as part of her expanding war effort. Most women served in Canada but some served overseas, most in roles such as secretaries, mechanics, cooks and so on. The CWAC was finally abolished as a separate corps in 1964 when women were fully integrated into the Canadian armed forces. The headquarters of the CWAC was based in Goodwin House in Ottawa.
