In Alberta, women only represent about 26 per cent of elected officials on municipal councils. We need that to change. Let’s make history at our next municipal election by aiming for gender parity on councils across Alberta.

Join Status of Women Minister Stephanie McLean, Metis Nation of Alberta President Audrey Poitras, and other elected officials to talk about launching your campaign for municipal office.

Please note that this event is family friendly; attendees are welcome to bring their children.

Confirmed Speakers:

President of the Métis Nation of Alberta, Audrey Poitras

Councillor Bev Esslinger, City of Edmonton

Moderator: Elise Stolte, Edmonton Journal
