I noticed that we did not have a group photo of our presenters.

There have been many suggestions for us to repeat this presentation - hopefully we will have that opportunity soon.
On April 7 the Canadian
Government released the news - that Canada elected to the United Nations
Commission on the Status of Women.
A seat on the Commission gives Canada a
stronger voice in advancing the rights of women and girls.
Canada has been
elected to be part of the governing body that sets priorities for the United
Nations Commission on the Status of Women (UNCSW). By gaining a seat, Canada
will be at the table to shape the Commission’s work to advance the rights of
women and girls around the world.
The
Honourable Patty Hajdu, Minister of Status of Women, announced at the sixtieth
UNCSW that Canada would seek a seat as a key part of its commitment to advance
gender equality, both at home and abroad.
