International Women Day’s learning toolkit

March 8th is International Women’s Day – a day to celebrate progress made and raise awareness of the work that needs to be done to ensure the full participation of women and girls in every aspect of Canadian society, including in the economic, social and democratic spheres, for future generations.

It’s a call to action and a reminder that gender equality is one of the most effective ways to build healthier, more prosperous, and more inclusive communities.

We all have a role to play in building a future where everyone can reach their full potential.

It is time to act – because women’s success is everyone’s success.

We encourage you to join the conversation and celebrate International Women's Day in your classroom!
