IWD 2026 Celebrating Racialized Women and their Allies

Join us for a special event honoring racialized women and their allies, featuring an inspiring keynote address by The Hon. Marci Ien, former Minister for Women and Gender Equality and Youth, and hosted by change maker Oratile Mogae.

This in-person gathering will be held at the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 – Kenneth C. Rowe Hall (1055 Marginal Road, Halifax, NS). Together, we’ll celebrate the achievements, resilience, and contributions of racialized women in our workplaces, communities, and beyond.

Let’s unite, empower, and uplift one another as we mark International Women’s Day with connection, joy, and purpose.

✨ We are also raising funds for Black Girls Gather — a network empowering Black women graduates and entrepreneurs across Atlantic Canada.
