It's #IWD2021. What will you do to observe it? One of the ways we are working to address gender inequity is through our Women Lead mentorship program. Join us and be part of the movement to #GenerationEquality! https://t.co/IiOQ6v8DbP
Happy International Women's Day! This year, we are thrilled to commemorate #IWD2021 through Daughters of the Vote.
Join us to watch live our #DOV2021 delegates taking their seat virtually at the House of Commons: https://t.co/WTRA3UPoif!
Together, we can make 2021 a landmark year for gender equality. But only if we all #ActForEqual.
On #IWD2021 and in the lead-up to the #GenerationEquality Forum, join us in taking action for an equal future.
We know women have been disproportionately impacted by COVID-19. As we mark #IWD we must both recognize the challenges and losses, and celebrate those who have stepped up during the global pandemic.

It's #IWD2021 tomorrow. How will you observe it and make sure you are part of the movement to create a more inclusive world without gender bias and inequality? #ChooseToChallenge
We said it before and we'll say it again: Harassement is a barrier for women who seek to fully participate in the political process. Being #tough and enduring violence shouldn't be a part of the job. #CallItOut#cdnpoli. Read more in EV's report: https://t.co/MB0vshqgs9
Still a lot of work to be done to address gender inequity and empower female leaders. Our Women Lead mentorship program is one way we are trying to support this shift. https://t.co/IiOQ6v8DbP #womenempowerment
The dearth of women in Canada’s C-suites has been a concern for decades, and yet few companies are willing to do anything about it – even when evidence shows female leadership is good for the bottom line.

It is my honour to announce that I am now the proud Minister of Tourism, Arts, Culture and Sport. Looking forward to working with my colleague Parliamentary Secretary @BobDEithMRM to fulfill our mandate. Thank you for your leadership as the former Minister of TAC, @lisabeare.
Taking my oath in the tiniest bubble, for safety's sake..
57 @BCNDP MLAs, the most diverse in BC & most women anywhere in Canada, swore yesterday to serve BC, to support people through the #pandemic & recovery.
In 2019 Snuneymuxw led me in & yesterday I drew on that strength.
Humbled to have been appointed Minister of State for Infrastructure by Premier @jjhorgan today. It continues to be an incredible honour to serve the people of British Columbia.
Deeply honoured to take on the role of Minister of Municipal Affairs. BC’s municipalities & regional districts are playing a critical role in #COVID19 response and recovery and I’ll bring every ounce of passion and energy I have for local government to serve British Columbia.
51% of sitting BC NDP MLAs will be women! An historic achievement overshadowed only by the time our party elected 100% women to the BC Legislature in 2001. 🙃
Congratulations to Vice-President Elect Sen. @KamalaHarris who has made history today, becoming:
✅The First woman Vice-President in the history of the #USA
✅First Black woman to be elected as Vice-President
✅First Indo-American woman to be elected as Vice-President
With thanks to #Nanaimo’s voters, I’m honoured to serve you in the @BCLegislature. Voters have asked @jjhorgan & the @BCNDP to lead through one of the most difficult times BC has ever faced. I'll work hard to get our community through the pandemic stronger than ever.
