International Women's Day Event 2019

||||||||||

On Friday, March 8, 2019, AHC participated in City of Edmonton and Women's Initiative Edmonton to celebrate International Women's Day at City Hall.

AHC joined several other service providers and community members to celebrate International Women's Day at City Hall. The event saw many Edmontonians stop by to learn about various resources and initiatives being offered around the city for women. In addition, there was a blessing from an Indigenous elder and speech from keynote speaker
Dr. Wanda Costen, Dean of Business at MacEwan University, among others. The event was a great way to recognize and honour women, including the many within the city who contribute towards many women's initiatives.
