INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY

All three of them came from very different backgrounds. I think this diversity is what made this message come across so well. Hon. Mrs. Stefanson spoke to us about what it means to be a leader in the community. Ms Sharma spoke about food security and how she is being bold for change and pressing for progress to get adequate food to all Manitobans. Ms Bahati spoke about how she and her sisters had to be brave and strong in order to flee the Congo to Uganda and then from Uganda to Canada, adding that music is how she hopes to inspire other girls and women to be bold and resilient.

Our flex activity on International Women's Day included #BEBOLD cards, on which BH girls wrote what they will do with the information they learned at the assembly and how they hope to change the world. These cards are now hanging in the atrium and on the #BEBOLD tree installation art that's also located in the atrium. I believe that this year's assembly truly made an impact on all of us, and I hope to see them all be bold throughout the months to come.
