On March 8th, we celebrate International Women’s Day, a time to honour the extraordinary women in our lives—mothers, sisters, grandmothers, business leaders, and volunteers—who shape our community with their strength, compassion, and dedication. It’s a day to recognize and appreciate the wonderful women of Emery Village and beyond, acknowledging their invaluable contributions and the vital roles they play.
This International Women’s Day, take the opportunity to express gratitude and celebrate the achievements of the incredible women around you. Here are a few meaningful ways to celebrate.
Support Women-Owned Businesses: Make a conscious effort to shop at or use services provided by women-owned businesses in Emery Village. This not only boosts the local economy but also supports women entrepreneurs in achieving their professional dreams.
Donate to Women’s Charities: Consider making a donation to charities that support women’s health, education, and rights. This helps provide essential resources and support to women in need within our community and beyond.
Volunteer: Give your time to organizations that empower women and girls. Whether it’s mentoring young women, helping out at an event, or providing skills training, your involvement can make a significant impact.
Express Appreciation: A simple “thank you” can go a long way. Take the time to acknowledge the women in your life, telling them how much you appreciate their efforts and achievements.
Please mark your calendar for March 8th and join us in celebrating International Women’s Day in Emery Village. Let us come together to honour the heroines among us, recognize their accomplishments, and support their future endeavours.
