In Canada, women occupy 18% of mayors’ positions and 28% of councillors’ seats. This is not representative of our workplaces, homes, and day-to-day lives. The Federation of Canadian Municipalities identified women’s concerning lack of representation at this level, so they launched an initiative to ensure women’s voices are heard. The Town of Hinton and Community Futures West Yellowhead are proud to offer a Lunch and Learn Series, funded by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, to encourage women to get involved in municipal governance. These sessions are open to everyone; we all need to work together towards inclusivity and diversity.
