Sheila Hellstrom (1935-2020): Canada s first female general was a trailblazer for women in the military Blair Crawford © Provided by Ottawa Citizen Sheila A. Hellstrom, a graduate of National Defence College, became the first woman serving as a Regular Force officer to be promoted to the rank of Brigadier-General in 1987. There was a story Sheila Hellstrom liked to tell about her military days, when a taxi had been dispatched to pick her up. When she climbed in the back, the cabbie tried to wave her away. “Sorry,” he said, “but I’m here for the general.” “I AM the general,” Hellstrom replied.
