Equal Voice Victoria

Happy Commonwealth Day! When democracy is needed more than ever, we should be grateful for ours.

We are lucky in BC to have such a well moderated debate between our 3 party leaders. Excellent questions and respectful answers

Please join Equal Voice Calgary on August 12 at noon MT for a conversation with the Honourable Jean Augustine and host Emma May.

In 1993, Jean Augustine made history as the first African-Canadian woman to be elected to Canada’s House of Commons as the Member of Parliament from the Greater Toronto Area constituency of Etobicoke-Lakeshore. The Honourable Jean Augustine is a passionate leader working to encourage more women to get involved in the electoral process.

The event host, Emma May, is a lifelong Calgarian, passionate real estate agent, former lawyer and avid community leader. Emma is a former political advisor and held senior political staff positions including stakeholder relations, strategic policy development, issues management and public affairs as a key staff member for the Premier of Alberta. Not to mention, she is an entrepreneur and founder of two successful businesses: SophieGrace.ca, a women’s wear line and Charles Real Estate.

The conversation between these two strong women leaders is sure to be jam packed with insightful comments. Sign up below, this is an event you don’t want to miss!

What the Alberta and PEI votes say about women in politics Yes, it’s a shame there are no longer any women premiers. But the bigger problem is the lack of consistent progress on getting women in legislatures.
