We wouldn't be where we are today were if not for our women.
Saskatchewan residents are joining with all Canadians in celebrating Women's History Month throughout October, and the first International Day of the Girl on October 11.
Women's History Month is celebrated each year, and provides an opportunity to recognize and appreciate how women have shaped our history, and to acknowledge the vital contributions women make to strengthen our economy, our communities and our families.
Saskatchewan's theme for the month is "Women and Girls Shaping Saskatchewan's Future", recognizing the passion and energy that young women and girls bring to their leadership roles as innovators and change-makers in their communities.
"I encourage all Saskatchewan residents to reflect on the important contributions of women and girls to the growth and prosperity of our province," Minister responsible for the Status of Women June Draude says. "Each year, more and more Saskatchewan women assume leadership roles in boardrooms across our province, and our country. Our young women and girls are also helping to chart a course for the future through their leadership roles on student councils, community youth committees and sports teams, and through their entrepreneurship and community volunteerism."
A big thank you to all the wonderful women out there!
