International Women’s Day

March 8th is International Women’s Day (IWD) which is a day to celebrate, learn and acknowledge the accomplishments and history of women! On this day it is also important to remind ourselves and contribute to the continued efforts towards women’s equality around the world. In 2021, the IWD Theme is Choose to Challenge meaning we should all choose to challenge gender biases and inequalities. Additionally, the Government of Canada is using this day to promote Feminist Recovery, a commitment to gender equality and an inclusive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.
