She Governs is an annual program that offers participants the opportunity to familiarize themselves with Calgary’s municipal government. This includes how council meetings are conducted and what it takes to become a member of council.
Through a Model Council meeting and Speakers' Panel, participants learn more about how local government works and hear perspectives from those serving in local politics.
The annual event also gives students the opportunity to connect with other like-minded individuals who are civically engaged and interested in local issues that affect Calgarians.
The She Governs event is offered in partnership with Equal Voice Calgary and the City of Calgary.
