Happy International Women's Day

Good afternoon, everyone,

Today, we gather to celebrate International Women’s Day—a day to recognize and honour the incredible women who shape our families, our communities, and our world. And here in Gravelbourg and the surrounding area, we are truly blessed with remarkable women whose contributions are felt in every corner of our town.

From the pioneers who built this community to the young women shaping its future, each of you plays a vital role. You are leaders, caretakers, innovators, and changemakers. Whether you’re running a business, raising a family, volunteering, or pursuing your dreams, your dedication and perseverance inspire us all. Today, we celebrate your achievements, recognize your contributions, and reaffirm our commitment to ensuring that every woman and girl in Gravelbourg has the opportunity to thrive.

As we celebrate today, let’s also look forward—toward a future where every woman’s voice is heard, where opportunities are equal, and where no dream is out of reach. Progress happens when we support one another, when we create spaces for women to lead, and when we ensure that respect, inclusion, and empowerment are at the heart of our community. Together, we can build a future where all women and girls feel valued, supported, and unstoppable.

On behalf of the town of Gravelbourg, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the women who make our community strong, vibrant, and full of possibility. Your impact is immeasurable, and today, we celebrate YOU.

Happy International Women’s Day!
