Celebrating International Women’s Day

Today, we unite to celebrate International Women’s Day, a significant occasion that emphasizes the ongoing fight for women’s rights. This day brings attention to essential issues such as gender equality, reproductive rights, and the challenges of violence and abuse against women worldwide.

In this spirit of celebration, we want to shine a spotlight on the incredible contributions of female athletes in the sport of hockey in the Northwest Territories. From grassroots programs that promote participation to high-performance athletes competing at elite levels, women are making their mark in this dynamic sport. Their involvement goes beyond playing; they are also taking on vital roles as coaches, officials, and mentors, guiding the next generation of players.

By recognizing and supporting these achievements, we can inspire young girls to pursue their passions and break barriers in sports and other areas of life. Let’s continue to uplift and empower women, ensuring their voices are celebrated and heard. Happy International Women’s Day!
