Lawrence retired as the puppeteer of the show in 1989.[4] Lawrence also wrote many books in The Young Canada Reading Series for Thomas Nelson publishers. Lawrence co-authored a series of books for D.C. Heath on women and work. In the 1960s she co-founded The Voice of Women. In the 1970s she was on the first National Action Committee on the Status of Women (NAC). She continued her peace and feminist views through newspapers like Broadside. She was awarded the Order of Canada in 2001 for her work as both a puppeteer and an activist.[5] After retiring, Lawrence moved from Toronto to Hornby Island, British Columbia where she became a strong community leader for the island, a designer of the recycling depot, and a farmer/environmentalist.
