Why I Support electHER Now

“ I support electHER Now because I believe in the power of diverse voices in leadership—especially women’s voices.

As someone passionate about equity, inclusion, and sustainability, I know that meaningful change starts with representation.

electHER Now creates space for women to lead boldly and authentically in our communities, and I’m proud to be part of that mission.”

Elizabeth Simpson Hillis - electHER Now Planning Team Member

Originally from Bradford West Gwillimbury, Elizabeth was a 2024 Association of Municipalities Ontario (AMO) Youth Fellow.

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.
