The Estevan Mercury is starting its newest big campaign next week.
All the way throughout March, we will be celebrating Women of Estevan and surrounding areas.
While the world marks International Women's Day on March 8, the Mercury is taking it a step further to ensure we do our best to recognize the strong, talented, creative and just wonderful women that are moving this and surrounding communities forward. All March, editions of the Mercury will have a special section dedicated to exceptional women.
The promotion is set to start on March 3 with the community's choices special section.
Do you know an outstanding local woman who is a leader, innovator, community builder, rising star or champion of equity and inclusion? Do you know an Estevan area woman who deserves to be recognized? Nominate them for the International Women's Day Estevan edition special.
Tell us in a few sentences why your nominee deserves recognition (maximum 250 words per person). Nominations with the nominees' picture can be emailed to [email protected] or dropped at the Mercury office during work hours.
Nominated Women of Estevan will be featured in next week's edition of the Mercury, which will open our Women of Estevan campaign.
All of the subsequent editions of the Estevan Mercury will share stories of outstanding women in the community. We will talk to businesswomen and politicians, local volunteer champions and religious leaders, women working in fields traditionally dominated by men, and those making our community better every day.
New stories will be featured in the paper weekly, celebrating the great achievements and exceptional input of women of the Estevan area.
International Women's Day is marked globally on March 8. People all around the world focus on the celebration and equality of women. It began 110 years ago, in 1911, with suffragettes who set the day as they fought for equal rights and freedoms for women.
