Every year on March 8 we celebrate International Women’s Day. In Canada, the theme for 2025 is "Strength in every story."

This year’s theme highlights the importance of amplifying the voices of all women, particularly those who continue to face barriers to success. Creating opportunities for women and girls unlocks their potential and drives innovation, supports Canada’s economy, and helps ensure a sustainable future for all.

UPEI is fortunate to have an abundance of inspiring women who lead by example as teachers, researchers, volunteers, and community champions. 

Visit the Government of Canada website to see how you can get involved, celebrate the women and girls in your life, and share their stories.
