Kathleen Willisher
Willisher was born in England in 1905 and immigrated to Canada in 1930.  She was a graduate of the London School of Economics and, in February 1946, was an employee of the High Commissioner's Office for the United Kingdom.  Willisher was a member of the Labour Progressive Party and was recruited into a study group by Agatha Chapman in 1942.  According to the commission's final report, Willisher was consciously aware that the information she divulged in the study group was being passed on to members of the Soviet embassy through Fred Rose.   She eventually suffered the same fate as Emma Woikin; Willisher plead guilty and was sentenced to three years in prison.
