Sonja Bata
Sonja I. Bata (or Sonja Baťová; née Wettstein) (born 1926, Zurich) was a Swiss business woman, philanthropist, and museum founder, who trained as an architect.
==Biography==
After her marriage to Thomas J. Bata of Bata Shoes, she left her architecture studies, and moved to Toronto in 1946, befriending those in the architecture community: Raymond Moriyama designed the Bata Shoe Museum while John Cresswell Parkin designed the Don Mills headquarters of Bata Shoes and the family's country house in Batawa.
Though she had earlier envisioned herself to become a great architect, she set her designs on improving the Bata Shoe company. Also in the 1940s, she began collecting shoes and studying their history. In 1979, she endowed the Bata Shoe Museum Foundation. The Bata Shoe Museum, established in 1995, is the world's largest shoe museum, and the core collection is attributed to Bata. She is the museum's chairperson.
Bata was also the chair of the National Design Council (1970s). She helped establish the Toronto French School, served as director the Art Gallery of Ontario, sat on the boards of Alcan and Canada Trustco, affiliated with the World Wildlife Fund, and became the Honorary Captain of HMCS ''Ottawa''.
