SUMMARY:International Women's Day - Celebrating Women: The Heart of the Community
DESCRIPTION:Each year\, BPW H&PE hosts an International Women’s Day celebration designed to honour the accomplishments of local women while advocating for gender equality. The event is open to all genders\, reflecting our belief that meaningful progress is achieved through collective action. \nWe are excited to welcome the Quinte Cultural Innovation Committee (QCIC) as our partner for this year’s event. Grounded in sisterhood and a shared belief that women are the heart of thriving communities\, both BPW H&PE and the QCIC are committed to values-driven\, community-centred work. QCIC’s mandate\, centred on equity in education\, dignity in housing\, food security\, and reparative community events\, complements BPW H&PE’s leadership in advancing community-led solutions where women and future generations can flourish. \nOver the past three years\, this event has exceeded expectations in both attendance and impact. Elected officials from across Hastings and Prince Edward\, alongside community leaders and professionals from a wide range of sectors\, have joined us in celebration and dialogue. The enthusiasm and engagement of our attendees have underscored the importance of creating spaces that champion women’s leadership\, empowerment\, and inclusion. This year\, we are excited to build on that success with an even more engaging and meaningful experience. \nThis year’s event will be an evening of connection and celebration\, featuring a reception-style culinary experience with thoughtfully prepared bites\, including both plant-forward and classic selections. Guests will explore interactive experience booths hosted by local organizations dedicated to improving the lives of women and girls\, creating opportunities for conversation\, learning\, and collaboration throughout the evening. \nThe program will also include recognition of three outstanding women from our region\, celebrating leadership across distinct stages of life. These honours reflect the continuity\, strength\, and intergenerational impact of women’s contributions to our community.
