International Women’s Day

DIVERSEcity X Minerva Women’s Leadership Forum

What are you doing for International Women’s Day? Join us for the third annual DIVERSEcity x Minerva Women’s Leadership Forum

What does it mean to be a women leader today? What are the challenges and opportunities we face in our families, communities and workplaces? And how can we uplift and learn from each other, both personally and professionally, to advance our careers and lives?

DIVERSEcity and Minerva are inviting women, both emerging and established, to come together to uplift and learn from one another at our Women’s Leadership Forum in celebration of International Women’s Day, Thursday,  March 6, 2025, 10 am – 2 pm, at the Anvil Centre in New Westminster (777 Columbia Street), near New Westminster Skytrain Station.

More details for the 2025 event coming soon. Watch our recap video from our 2024 above!

International Women’s Day Donation

Uplifting women and women’s-focused organizations

From 2016 to 2023, DIVERSEcity Community Resources Society honoured International Women’s Day by recognizing women’s-focused organizations with a donation to support their work.

2023 donation announcement

For 2023, DIVERSEcity donated a bursary (at a value of $1,500) to Minerva’s Emerging Leaders Program to one of the attendees at the DIVERSEcity x Minerva Women’s Leadership Forum. It’s a 10-week part-time development program for new managers and early career leaders that improves participants’ leadership abilities as well as their confidence to manage people and teams, all while growing their professional networks and power base.

In 2022, DIVERSEcity presented a donation of $1,000 to:

  • Pacific Association of First Nations Women, an association that envisions a matriarchal community where all Indigenous women in BC are safe and respected with a sense of belonging and connection to cultural traditions.

The donation was co-sponsored (value $500) by Pacific Community Resources Society.

In previous years, we have donated $500 to:
