March 8 is International Women’s Day, a day dedicated to the celebration of women and female identifying’s achievements. Recognising the invaluable role of women and the continuing need for equality, this year’s theme is #EmbraceEquity.

On March 8, celebrate the resilience, power, and successes of the women in your family and in your community. Take a moment to speak to them about their work for equity, thank them and listen to how you can #EmbraceEquity.

In Iqaluit, the Qulliit Nunavut Status of Women Council, the Government of Nunavut and the YWCA are holding a women and gender-diverse marketplace at the Tukisigiarvik Centre on March 8 from 1-7 p.m.

There will be a kids’ area and representatives from career development, Iqaluit Public Health and the Nunavut Arctic College on-hand to answer questions.
