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.
Women worldwide have been in an organized fight against oppression since 1908. Much progress has been made since then but we still have work to do.
Please join us for our second annual International Women’s Day Celebration. We are so excited to host you as we get together to celebrate all of our incredible women-led businesses. This is an event suitable for all genders, we would encourage men to come join us!
This year’s IWD theme is “Inspire Inclusion” and we’re going to have some real – guided - conversations around inclusion and what it means to you.
In addition to celebrating all the incredible women in businesses, we will have a little bit of fun doing some critical fundraising for our organization through a silent auction.
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.
The silent auction is also an excellent opportunity for your business to get some additional brand exposure.
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.
