International Women’s Day 2023

It’s hard to express what an incredible and moving International Women’s Day we were lucky enough to be a part of yesterday. It was a packed house at the Marsh Street Centre, and it was so good to see so many community members come out to celebrate. All proceeds from the ticket sales, plus all the generous donations that were made at the event, will go to support the Backpacks For Learning program at Georgian Bay Community School. We’re very thankful to Shannon Fry at Thornbury Pharmasave for helping us make those donations do even more good.
Thank you to the Town of the Blue Mountains and Mayor Matrosovs for partnering with us to make the day happen. A huge thank you to the Events for Life participants for sharing their wonderful performance with us. They also donated a fantastic raffle prize, and so did Property Valet and Marion Neisen from the Ukrainian Village Of Owen Sound – thank you all for your generosity. Thank you to Thornbury Tim Hortons for donating all of the coffee and tea, and to the AMAZING volunteers at the Marsh Street Centre for your tireless work. We couldn’t have done it without you.
We want to extend a very special thank you to Olha, Onya, Alysa, Laura, Autumn and the team at Cottage Country North for providing us with a delicious traditional Ukrainian lunch. We were very grateful to Olha and Onya for sharing their powerful stories of their journeys here from Ukraine with us. How humbling to see such strength and joy in the face of unimaginable adversity.
