This year's International Women's Day theme is Embrace Equity in Nogojiwanong/ Peterborough and will be observed in two parts, the first being the rally. On Wednesday, March 8th (International Women's Day) we will be hosting a rally from noon-1 pm starting downtown at Peterborough Square Courtyard and will make our way down to Confederation Park, across from City Hall.
Please keep in mind that we will be walking on the sidewalks only and have not invited a police presence.
Once we reach City Hall, Town Ward City Councillor Joy Lachica will speak, along with local poet Emily Quarry who has agreed to do a short reading.
Deepest thanks to our community partners for their generous support including the Canadian Women for Women in Afghanistan- Peterborough Chapter, Champlain College, Community Race Relations Committee of Peterborough, Diverse Nature Collective, Fleming College, Lady Eaton College, New Canadians Centre, OPIRG Peterborough, Professor Stephen Hill, Soroptimist International- Peterborough, The Centre for Women and Trans People, The Seasoned Spoon, Trent Oxfam, Trent University School of the Environment, and Trent WUSC- SRP.
