International Women's Day
In 1975, March 8 was declared International Women's Day by the United Nations. Since then, it has been a day to celebrate women, our achievements, raise awareness about discrimination and amplify our voices.
2025 International Women's Day
Strathcona County Women in Business Association is proud to host an elevated brunch in celebration of International Women’s Day. This year’s theme, “Accelerate Action,” emphasizes the importance of taking swift and impactful steps towards gender equality and women’s empowerment.
2024 International Women's Day
Our second annual International Women’s Day Celebration was a great success. We were so pleased to get together to celebrate all of our incredible women-led businesses.
Stay tuned for more information on 2025 event - coming soon.
Inspire Inclusion
2024's IWD theme was “Inspire Inclusion” and we had some guided conversations around inclusion and what it means to you.
Critical Fundraising
In addition to celebrating all the incredible women in businesses, we did some critical fundraising for our organization through a silent auction. Thank you to everyone who participated.
We are on a mission to provide access to opportunities and resources that empower women to reach their fullest potential and achieve economic success. The more we are able to fund our organization, the more great things we can do to support.
Period Poverty
We will also be accepting donations of menstrual products for the Strathcona Food Bank. Sadly - One in six Canadians who menstruate have personally experienced period poverty; this rises to one in four (25%) if their household earns less than $40,000 a year. It is a very real issue, and we have an excellent opportunity to support women in our community who might be struggling.
