Upcoming International Women's Day - Invest in Women: Accelerate Progress
As we gear up for #internationalwomensday, we're proudly rallying behind Canada's theme: "Empower Women, Accelerate Progress." It's more than just a theme though—it's helps to remind us that achieving gender equality isn't a distant dream; it's essential for creating thriving communities like Thames Centre!
Our Council demonstrates the extraordinary leadership and resilience of women. Take Mayor McMillan, for instance— from her beginning as a dean's secretary to her success in real estate, all while balancing family responsibilities and volunteering, her journey is truly remarkable. But her leadership extends beyond personal achievements; driven by her love for her community, she has become a symbol of empowerment for women everywhere. As mayor, she prioritizes transparent communication, bridging the gap between governance and the public, while simultaneously inspiring women to pursue their own paths of leadership and success.
Mayor McMillan's story encapsulates the essence of today's celebration: the grit, determination, and unwavering commitment of women. Let's not just recognize the progress we've made; let's commit to further investing in the advancement of women everywhere.
