Uniting for a New World on Saturday March 7th
International Women’s Day is one of my favourite moments of the year. It’s when our city comes together—literally—to celebrate women, honour resilience, and push forward toward real gender equity. This year, I’m excited to invite you to walk with us at the march.
At Working Women Community Centre, we support women and their families by opening pathways to self-development and community action that enrich their quality of life. Specializing in newcomer services, our programming includes Settlement and VAW counselling, Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada (LINC), family support and education programs, food security initiatives, and community engagement programming. We envision a future where all women—regardless of social identity or immigration realities—have full inclusion, the power, and the self-determination to shape their communities.
This vision is why the International Women’s Day March is so important to us. It’s a moment where newcomers, long-time Torontonians, supporters, partners, and advocates walk side by side to show what equity in action truly looks like.
Join Us — Walk With WWCC
We’ll be meeting outside of the Tim Hortons, 246 Bloor Street West, on Saturday March 7th at 12:30pm. From there, we’ll head out for the march together. Bring your friends, family, neighbours, coworkers—everyone is welcome. Whether you’ve known WWCC for years or you’re just discovering our work, your presence matters. Walking together sends a clear message: newcomer women’s voices, leadership, and lives matter.
Why we march together:
- To celebrate all women, whose courage and contributions make Toronto stronger every day.
- To recognize that gender equity takes collective action, across communities and identities.
- To stand visibly and proudly for a future where all women, regardless of status, have the power and opportunity to shape the world around them.
Wear purple if you can, bring a sign if you’d like, but most importantly—bring yourself. Your energy and solidarity make this day powerful.
I can’t wait to walk with you, shoulder to shoulder, as we honour women, uplift communities, and move toward a more equitable future.
See you on March 7th at Tim Hortons, 246 Bloor Street West, at 12:30pm. 💜
