“Remembering the Past – The Future is Ours”
This SOLD OUT special evening reminded us that by “Remembering our Past, the Future is ours to Create”. Rosemary Ganley, Our Keynote Speaker and Visionary Trailblazer, journalist, author, activist, and recent recipient of the Order of Canada, took participants on a reflective journey through time. Highlighting the milestones of the feminist movement across the past 75 years in communities across Canada. (Download Milestones Through Time Infographic below)
As we learned from the past, Maryam Monsef, Our Present – Inspirational Influencer, and Alina Gregory, Our Future – Leader and Changemaker, inspired guests to reflect, share, and co-create a vision for a gender-just and equitable society 75 years into the future. What these visionaries created is a tangible roadmap to the Future. (Download Roadmap to the Future infographic below)
