Zonta Celebrates International Women’s Day - March 3

In March 2005, over 200 guests enjoyed an exciting evening out, helping women at home and worldwide!

The feisty and funny Judy Rebick, our featured speaker for this event, enlightened, inspired and motivated all. Her tales from the Canadian women’s movement reminded us to be proud of our history and to keep working for women’s rights - there is lots more to do. Click here for photos from the event.

Rebick is a well-respected Canadian author, political commentator, and past president of the National Action Committee on the Status of Women, Canada’s largest women’s group. She lectures at Ryerson and University of Toronto on social justice and women’s issues.

Rebick signed copies of her landmark spring release “Ten Thousand Roses, The Makings of a Feminist Revolution”. Zonta donated additional copies of this fabulous book to the secondary school libraries in Mississauga, Brampton and Oakville.

A light meal, extraordinary silent auction, and community showcase rounded out the evening at Le Dome Banquet Hall in Oakville. Over $4,000 was raised to support women and girls through local and international service projects of the Zonta Clubs of Mississauga and Oakville.
