Proudly Sponsoring the 100th Anniversary Celebration of International Women's Day in Summerside, PEI

Posted on 14 February 2011 | 0 Comments

International Women's Day (8 March) is a global day celebrating the economic, political and social achievements of women past, present and future.

In some places like China, Russia, Vietnam and Bulgaria, International Women's Day is a national holiday.

Suffragettes campaigned for women's right to vote. The word 'Suffragette' is derived from the word "suffrage" meaning the right to vote. International Women's Day honours the work of the Suffragettes, celebrates women's success, and reminds of inequities still to be redressed. The first International Women's Day event was run in 1911.

2011 is the Global Centenary Year and Green Gable Alpacas is proud to be an invited sponsor to the Summerside, PEI celebration of this historic event.
