The Town of The Blue Mountains and The Blue Mountains Chamber of Commerce have partnered to host a networking lunch and panel discussion on Wednesday, March 8, 2023, in support of International Women’s Day.
The event will feature a lunch of traditional Ukrainian foods, provided by a group of Ukrainian entrepreneurs who have relocated to Grey County. The women will share their stories of fleeing the war, arriving in Canada, and building a new business and a new life. Local community members will also be in attendance to share how they have provided support to the women and their families to help them flourish in challenging circumstances.
The cost of a ticket is a minimum donation of $15.00 with all proceeds from the event supporting the Backpacks For Learning Program, which provides youth in need with food security and personal care items through Georgian Bay Community School. Tickets are available online through EventBrite or by contacting The Blue Mountains Chamber of Commerce.
Everyone is welcome to attend – the Town and The Blue Mountains Chamber of Commerce invites all genders to celebrate the resilience and success of women in the community.

About International Women’s Day
International Women's Day (March 8) is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating women's equality. The International Women’s Day 2023 #EmbraceEquity campaign theme seeks to get the world talking about why "equal opportunities are no longer enough" - and can in fact be exclusionary, rather than inclusive.
