Why I Support electHER Now

“I have been in Owen Sound for over a decade and witnessed the socio-economic and political changes in Grey and Bruce counties.

Women represent 51 percent of the population but only 29 percent are elected municipal council members. Women's inclusion is fundamental to a progressive and sustainable society. Therefore, our voices are crucial at the municipal level to apply the gender lens in the decision-making process and address barriers that women and gender diverse people face.

I am happy to be part of the planning team in this great community initiative because I bring a unique perspective to the planning team to empower and support women through their political career.”

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.
