Join Equal Voice for an Inside-the-Room Conversation on Leadership & Governance
March 13, 2026
11:00 AM - 1:30 PM EST
Equal Voice returns to Toronto on March 13, for our 2026 International Women’s Day Luncheon, an exclusive, high-level conversation on leadership inside public institutions.
This event will convene senior leaders from government, Bay Street, and civil society for a candid discussion on how economic and fiscal decisions are shaped, how trust is sustained across sectors, and why women’s leadership at the highest levels strengthens institutional stability and market confidence.
Your attendance supports Equal Voice’s mission to create multi-partisan spaces that advance gender equity in Canadian politics and public leadership. Proceeds from this luncheon will help fuel our national programming, leadership initiatives, and research aimed at strengthening inclusive political participation across Canada.
We look forward to welcoming you to a meaningful afternoon of dialogue, insight, and connection in Toronto.
