In celebration of International Women’s Day, Women In Action: Shaping the future, together is held at the Bow Valley College on March 7, 2025. The atmosphere buzzed with energy as attendees engaged in conversations, shared personal stories, and exchanged advice on topics like entrepreneurship, balancing career and personal life, as well as overcoming societal barriers.

Panelists Adaeze Hubbard, Saowanee Srisuriyamart, and Tahira Ebrahim shared insights on how women can thrive in a rapidly changing world. Meanwhile the resource fair and the open networking allowed women to connect, and build relationships. 

We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to Bow Valley College, Virtuous Circle Counselling, and the City of Calgary, whose generous support made this event possible. As well as to

• our lovely photographer, Janis Isaman,
• our dedicated volunteers, whose hard work and enthusiasm ensured everything ran seamlessly,
• and to our visionary lead organizers, Cathy Clonts and Drena Dechant, whose creativity and commitment brought this empowering celebration to life.

Lastly, thank you all attendees for showing up.

We hope that event made a lasting impact and that everyone was able to connect, share their stories and had a positive experience.

Until next time!
