This was originally published on Huffington Post as part of Mina's new ongoing blog to raise awareness about issues affecting women and girls in Canada.
Before the end of today, you might notice a few small media stories mentioning that it’s International Women’s Day. If you’re like many Canadians, you might wonder why we still need a day like this, especially in a country like ours.
In just over a month, our current President and CEO Beverley Wybrow will retire from the Canadian Women's Foundation.
To celebrate Bev's outstanding leadership and devotion to the Canadian Women's Foundation, a fund has been set up in her honour. In lieu of a retirement gift, consider a donation to the Beverley Wybrow Fund that will help support transformative work to move women out of poverty, out of violence and into confidence.
We invite you to share your favourite memory or cherished highlight of Bev's career in the comment section below. These messages will be collected and shared with Bev in the New Year.
