YSEC is wishing all our wonderful female SE’s a wonderful International Women’s Day. Last night a woman won Best Director at the Oscars for the first time in history, I can’t think of a better way to lead into today’s celebration. Today we celebrate women around the world. And tomorrow, you SE’s will have brought on full gender equality in your communities and in the world. Here are some ways to celebrate yourselves and other women today and other fun things happening in Toronto this week.
All week:
- It starts Monday, March 8th and goes on for 10 days straight. The WISH Summit is an online event with topics ranging from health to family to beauty and more. Find out all about this summit here.
