On March 7, the City of Brampton is celebrating International Women\u2019s Day, honouring the achievements and contributions of women, whose leadership and resilience continue to shape Brampton into a thriving, inclusive and compassionate community.<\/p>\n
\u201cGender equity requires meaningful action. Through initiatives like the Women Empowerment Network and the Women\u2019s Advisory Committee, Brampton continues to create opportunities for women to lead and thrive. I encourage everyone to join us on March 7 and be part of the conversation.\u201d
