International Women’s Day Celebration

On March 8 from 1–4 pm, the PEI Advisory Council on the Status of Women and community volunteers invite everyone to join in celebrating International Women’s Day (IWD) in the Rotary Auditorium of the Charlottetown Library Learning Centre. The closest entrance is through the back doors on Pownal Street.

March 8 is a day to advocate for gender rights in community solidarity. Together we celebrate women and girls, while also demanding equality, safety, and justice internationally. 

Speakers will focus on issues of women’s health, and the theme of “give to get.” There will be a variety of performers sharing and leading in participatory dance. As usual, there will be food provided, and a staffed children’s corner. The afternoon will end with singing the IWD anthem, “Bread & Roses.”

People of all genders are welcome to this free event. Come for connection and friendship and offer your energy and allyship as part of a global movement towards gender equality.
