“Sunday, March 8 is International Women’s Day. This year’s theme is ‘Strong Women. Strong World. Improving Economic Opportunities for All.’
“Today’s Alberta is a testament to the contributions and achievements of women. Throughout our history and the continuing evolution of their roles in the life of our province, women have been, and will continue to be, crucial to Alberta’s success.
“Unique challenges remain for women, but as we have seen over Alberta’s first century, their hard work, talent and energy will pave the way to an even better Alberta for all of us. Together, we will make it happen.
“I invite all Albertans to mark International Women’s Day by celebrating the vital participation of women here in Alberta and around the world.”
