WCT Manitoba re-launched their chapter with Breaking the Barriers: Women Empowering Women at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights on October 26th, 2018.
The event featured an incredible line up of speakers, each bringing a unique experience and expertise to the conversation of gender parity.
This fall, WCT hosted a series of events and chapter launches in new communities across Canada. With only 27% of the Canadian ICT workforce being comprised of women, creating a network of professional women and community of support is a key to closing the gender gap in Canada.
Here's a short recap of each of our chapter launches and events:
The streets were full of snow but weather was not enough to stop a room full of fabulous Haligonians from joining us for coffee, muffins, and contributions to the advancement of women in the digital economy.
We were welcomed and greeted by Joanne Stanley, Executive Director of WCT, and Laurie Sinclair of the Center for Women in Business. Following that, Ulrike Bahr-Gedalia, President & CEO of Digital Nova Scotia, set the context for the session.
