Candis Graham

Candis Graham was a lesbian-feminist writer and writing teacher. In 1974, she and four other lesbians were charged more for renting a Waterloo townhouse because the landlord thought there would be problems with renting to homosexuals. They took the issue to the press, and it lead to the formation of the Waterloo Lesbian Collective.
