Why I Support electHER Now

“I believe that women DO bring a different perspective to issues and add value to political conversations based on our life experiences and the lens we use to reflect on our understanding of the community and of others.

Our communities are stronger and more resilient when women help each other with the tools, knowledge, support and mentorship to make the decision to run, win a municipal seat and thrive in political office.

electHER, a non partisan forum, helps those who have walked the political journey pay it forward and make space for more women and future generations of leaders at the political table.”

WE ACKNOWLEDGE that electHER Now virtual and in-person events are hosted on Saugeen Treaty No.45 ½ land, the Traditional Territory of the Anishinabek Nation: The People of the Three Fires known as Ojibway, Odawa, and Pottawatomie Nations. We give thanks to the Chippewas of Saugeen, and the Chippewas of Nawash, now known as the Saugeen Ojibway Nation, as the traditional keepers of this land.

Our meeting place is home to many Indigenous peoples, First Nations and Metis from across Turtle Island whose histories, languages, and cultures continue to influence our vibrant community. May we live with respect in peace and friendship with all its diverse peoples.
