Under the global theme #AccelerateAction, this year’s breakfast will bring together community leaders, advocates, and changemakers to highlight the essential role of women to advocate a more inclusive society and to empower women. The breakfast will feature an inspiring keynote address from Guest Speaker and Author Gwen Lamont as she tells uplifting Stories from the Road to honour women’s experiences and ignite bold action toward gender equity.
“The Annual International Women’s Day Breakfast is a powerful reminder of the strength and resilience of women in our community. It’s a celebration of our achievements and a call to action for continued progress” said Heather Sheldrick, Executive Director at The Women’s Centre Grey Bruce. “International Women’s Day is a global celebration of the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. It’s a day to honor the progress we’ve made and to recognize the work that still needs to be done to achieve gender equality.”
TWC invites the community to this special gathering to honour trailblazers, raise awareness of critical issues, and unite in the mission to accelerate progress toward gender equality.
