About the event
October is Women’s History Month in Canada, and on the 18th it is Persons Day. It marks the day in 1929 when the historic decision to include women in the legal definition of ‘persons was made.
This month, we welcome the Mayor of Essex, Sherry Bondy, to speak on the successes & challenges of being a woman in regional politics. Our last election year showed a turn in the times, when the majority of the regional mayors are women, and more women councillors were elected across the county. There’s still an underrepresentation of women in politics though, and this month represents an appropriate time to acknowledge the strides taken towards equality.
The HEIRS committee will recognize Remembrance Day at this meeting and the important role of the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 338 plays in supporting
local veterans and their families.
