Events

Join us on Zoom for our 7th Annual community event in celebration of International Women’s Day! 

Participation is easy: Register online, mark your calendar for Saturday, March 6, starting at 1:00pm, and think about how YOU will #ChooseToChallenge and call out gender bias and inequality. 

Take part in our optional décor contest … prizes for BEST Home Decoration, BEST Selfie with IWD #ChooseToChallenge card and official pose, BEST IWD Poster (your original creation!), and BEST Use of Purple – the official International Women’s Day colour. A $25 prize, supporting a local Cambridge business, will be awarded to each category winner. 

Get ready to be inspired by our guest speakers.

 From the First Nations Technical Institute we have Daniella Petitti and Joanne Tabobandung. A flight instructor and Dean of Aviation from First Peoples' Aviation - Flight!

Suzie Dunn is PhD candidate and part time professor at the University of Ottawa, Faculty of Law. Her research centers on the intersections of gender, equality, technology and the law, with a specific focus on technology-facilitated violence, the non-consensual distribution of intimate images, deep fakes, and impersonation in digital spaces. She is a research assistant with The eQuality Project where she is developing a data base on criminal law cases related to tech-violence, a Senior Fellow with CIGI where she is working on a project on technology-facilitated violence in the Global South, and is a member of LEAF’s Technology-Facilitated Violence Project.
