We are so grateful to everyone who joined us for this important conversation on motherhood, leadership, and politics. We can’t wait to see you at our next event!

Before National Indigenous History Month comes to a close, we want to honour Indigenous women who stepped into Canadian politics; at every level, for their own reasons. Because it really matters.

These past and present leaders are powerfully changing what's possible for every woman and two-spirit person in this country. We've featured a few, but we celebrate the many leading their communities from coast to coast to coast.

✨ Speaker Announcement ✨

We are pleased to announce that Alberta NDP Deputy Leader Rakhi Pancholi will be joining us to provide a keynote address for Motherhood & Politics: A Conversation Celebrating Alberta’s Mothers!

We look forward to an engaging discussion on leadership, public service, and the experiences of mothers in Alberta. Additional speakers from across the political spectrum will be announced soon.

🌸 Date & Time: June 27, 2026 | 11:00 AM- 2:00 PM
🌸Location: AspiHer Business Club
🌸Ticket Cost: $30 (link in bio)

Looking at on our way to Canada Day.

Representation matters. When women and gender-diverse people are present at decision-making tables, our democracies are better equipped to address the challenges and opportunities facing our communities.
