Girl Power provides opportunities for girls to share their stories, build community and make new friends. Girls will participate in activities like dance, art, self-defense, and theatre.

Comings & Goings
This month we say goodbye to our practicum student, Mirella Estupe-Bautista. Thank you for all of your hard work and best of luck with your future aspirations!
Thank You
Last month, Women's Centre runners and walkers helped us exceed our goal of raising $10,000 for our Basic Needs program through the Scotiabank Calgary Marathon Charity Challenge.

Thank you to everyone who raced on behalf of Women's Centre or sponsored our team. Because of your support, we will be able to provide more women with access to the basic needs they require.
