The 2011 IWD Organizing Committee extends an invitation to all to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of International Women's Day in Vancouver. Come and join us from 12:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., for an Imaginative Widely Diverse Parade along Commercial Drive, followed by an indoor Festival at the WISE Hall, where entertainment, a marketplace, refreshments and a Kid Zone await.
The Parade is designed to feature women representing different times from the past 100 years. Cheer along, or march in the parade. Choose a theme or a time period that reflects some important achievement for women, and dress up and join the fun! Everyone is welcome!
