electHER Now is a group of women working hard to achieve sustainable gender balance of elected municipal officials.

We are delighted to have both elected officials (past and present) and volunteers join together to help achieve our goal.

The Planning Team is made up of retired elected officials and community volunteers with interest and experience. Together, they establish goals, strategies and help execute the plans set out to help achieve our goal.

The Advisory Council is made up of current elected municipal officials from across the 17 municipalities in Grey Bruce. The Advisory Council provides input and guidance as requested, in the development of electHER Now resources and programming.

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.
