This note is an invitation to YOUR VOICE MATTERS: A Rural Canadian Women Town Hall. On behalf of our panelists below, we would very much appreciate your attendance.

 My name is Shauna Rae and I’ve been interviewing rural women entrepreneurs from across Canada since the fall of last year, particularly women from minority groups, through my podcast Clearing a New Path™ . I’ve also been connecting with rural women entrepreneurs through my weekly newsletter.(You can sign up for the newsletter here.)

We’re coming together to talk about authentic issues facing rural women entrepreneurs and we’re hoping you’ll want to attend.

I know you have women entrepreneurs in your own community and holding this space, collectively, as rural and remote Canadian women, is powerful. 

The goal is to unite as allies and to ACT, as one.

I’ve enlisted a graphic facilitator to visually capture the issues discussed.

As my company’s (Radar Media) commitment to the Calls to Action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Report, this event will also be an opportunity to fundraise for Kastoslote Elijah, an Indigenous teen who is deaf from Oneida Nation of the Thames. She won a scholarship to a university in Hawaii for art and Indigenous languages.

Won’t you join us?  https://lu.ma/u9adme79 REGISTER HERE
