Request to participate in a Round Table with Minister Ambrose
As the UN Representative for the National Council of Women of Canada, I was pleased to receive an invitation to be part of a Round Table with Minister Rona Ambrose, Minister Status of Women Canada. The theme of the discussion will be Rural Women so I've been collecting input from Councils across Canada, and especially here in Manitoba. Some excellent points too! I look forward to sharing these thoughts, suggestions, and areas of concern with her - if you have something you would like to ad, please comment below.
