International Women's Day In Lethbridge | Wednesday, March 8, 2023 | Micah Quinn | Bridge City News

Wednesday marked International Women’s Day and the Lethbridge Chamber of Commerce hosted a breakfast event at the Enmax Centre to showcase powerful women in our community.

Cyndi Bester, the CEO of the Lethbridge Chamber says there were around 200 people who attended the festivities. She highlighted how important it is for strong women to get together and hear each other in a public setting.

Abigail Shakespeare was one of the guest speakers and she said it was incredible to be able to talk in front of so many women.

According to Stats Canada, women have made huge strides in a number of professions including politics. As of 2021, just over 48 per cent of ministers appointed to federal cabinet positions were female.

As well, women represented just over 35 per cent of people aged 15 and older in Canada who held a management position in the workplace.
