Join us TOMORROW to celebrate International Women’s Day!
To recognize the significant contributions of women across generations, the City of Vaughan is hosting its annual International Women’s Day event tomorrow at City Hall (2141 Major Mackenzie Dr.). Join us from 9 a.m. to noon for a morning of learning, connecting and entertainment.
International Women’s Day is a global celebration, acknowledging and honouring women’s achievements and challenges. It’s also an opportunity to reaffirm our commitment to removing barriers to advance gender equality in our communities.
The theme for this year’s celebration is Invest in women: Accelerate progress, echoing the UN Women’s initiative to highlight strategies for fostering inclusive and equitable societies through the economic empowerment of women and girls.
The event will feature:
- a networking space where women-led organizations and organizations that offer services supporting women and girls in Vaughan can showcase their work while leaders and entrepreneurs share how they drive transformative change in our city and region.
- a keynote address by Suzanne Knight, MBA, MA, an award-winning expert on transformational change and the future of work.
- music by DJ MB.
There will also be a panel discussion called Empowering Women Leaders: Driving Progress in Vaughan where women entrepreneurs will share their insights and experiences in leading projects and businesses while promoting women’s empowerment and progress in their respective fields.
The panelists include:
- Hina Zahid: Co-founder of the non-profit organization Muslim Women of Vaughan
- Madonna Cicconi: Founder of the Cicco Aroma brand and owner of The Wellness Studio by Cicco Aroma
- Ramona Gallagher: CEO of Business Basics, coach, mentor and consultant
