We had the pleasure of hosting Canadian Senators (@SenateCA) the Honourable Ratna Omidvar and the Honourable Mary Coyle this afternoon.

@SenCoyle, former vice president of @stfxuniversity and director of @CoadyStFX, is a long-time champion for women’s leadership, gender equality, and the rights of Indigenous Peoples.

@ratnaomi is an internationally recognized voice on migration, diversity, and inclusion. She came to Canada from Iran in 1981 and her own experiences of displacement, integration, and citizen engagement have been the foundation of her work.

We were pleased to share Coady's history, ongoing work, and future plans with them both.
