I wrote a piece for @iPoliticsCA highlighting the Women on the Hill reception. It has become an important annual tradition in Ottawa that brings together women in politics, media, government relations, and diplomacy.

Thanks for writing this important piece drawing attention to the needs of marginalized and underserved communities, @LeftHandStu.
