Sherri Smith tells me, “The theme for International Women’s Day this year is “Strong Women. Strong Canada. Strong World.” This theme reflects the government’s action to encourage more women and girls to participate in leadership roles, thereby helping them thrive, reach their full potential, fulfill their dreams, and builds a more prosperous Canada.”
The Soroptimists International of Central Alberta are a remarkable group of dedicated and loving women who year after year seek the best for women and girls in our area and abroad.
