Count Women In

 
 

Count Women In is a four-part event series designed to spark conversation around the barriers women in politics face and build momentum and support for equitable representation on Calgary’s City Council. Each event features an expert speaker who will explore a different facet of gender parity, equitable representation, and women in politics.

As the events are designed as a series, you can purchase a series pass which will give you access to all four speaker events.
