It is with a heavy heart that we announce the cancellation of our April 8th dinner and guest speaker.  In light of the current pandemic we feel it best to be cautious and adhere to public health precautions to prevent the spread of COVID-19.  Looking forward to seeing you all May 13th when we explore the many benefits of Social Enterprise!

Come engage in one of BPW Calgary’s pillars, RESOLUTIONS.

This historic evening will kick off with our traditional Candlelight ceremony which will highlight and represent the rich history of BPW. We will then dive into our Resolutions Process outlining how you can get more involved in our pillar of Advocacy and how you can have your voice heard at the Prime Minister’s Office!

This is your opportunity to actively participate in our mandate as we strive to improve the economic, employment, political and social conditions for all women. The art of writing resolutions is a tradition that reaches back to BPW Calgary’s rich history with the Famous Five. Today we are proud to continue with this honored tradition which has proven effective in providing our organization with a VOICE on the important areas where we believe the government needs to take action to help us achieve equality in our society.

Our resolutions process serves as a means to formally express our opinions and to influence policy change at all levels of government with regard to issues affecting women. Every year, BPW clubs from across the country survey their members on the issues that are most important to them, and craft written resolutions. All of the drafted resolutions are submitted to the BPW Canada Resolutions Chair for review and comment. Once the resolutions are reviewed, they are then put into final form and are presented at our BPW Canada AGM meeting for discussion and voting. All voted resolutions are then included in a Brief to the Prime Minister for consideration. Likewise, though our Commendations, we get to acknowledge the work of the federal or provincial government, as well as other non-governmental organizations, in advancing gender equality in our country.

We encourage all of you to come learn more about this important work and to consider becoming involved!

Human Rights in Action with Marie-Claude Landry Ad. E.

 

Join us for dinner and an opportunity to hear from Marie-Claude Landry Ad. E, the Chief Commissioner of the Canadian Human Rights Commission. She will be speaking about one of the key human rights issues facing people in Canada – Disability Rights. Following the Chief Commissioner’s speech, we will gather feedback on proposed resolutions for the federal government. The resolutions process, reaching back to BPW Calgary’s rich history with the Famous Five, helps to ensure womens’ voices are adequately represented in economic, political, social, and employment matters to help us achieve equality in our society. This year’s topics include: sexual assault training for judges; disability rights; equal pay.

The Chief Commissioner’s Comments on Hate:
“We must be louder than those who make headlines by their acts of hatred. We must call out acts of intolerance no matter how small, because even small acts can embolden the hatred and anger that lead to devastating consequences. Our diversity is our greatest strength.”

The Chief Commissioner’s Statement – New Parliament Must Confront Racism in Canada (Oct 22/19) New Parliament Must Confront Racism in Canada
