"Today we celebrate International Women’s Day. Annually, March 8th stands as a powerful reminder of the strength, resilience, and brilliance of women everywhere.
The first International Women's Day was held in March 1911. Now in present times, we know that this has only grown more inclusive. It's a day of collective global activism and celebration that belongs to all those committed to forging equality.
The 2024 campaign theme is to Inspire Inclusion. This theme emphasizes the importance of diversity and empowerment in all aspects of society.
Whether you celebrate the spirit of Inspire Inclusion through your coworkers, your friends or your family, we can all come together and reflect this sentiment everyday, and in many different ways.
The Town of Midland is comprised of many different people, and we are lucky for it. The women who work in this organization and sit on Council embody message behind International Women’s Day..." - Mayor Bill Gordon
