Description	Each year, March 8th is celebrated around the world as International Women's Day (IWD). This is the day to focus upon and remember the struggles of women around the world. It is a chance for women to reflect on the past and on-going progress and gains made in the struggle for peace, equal rights and social advancement. It commemorates the hard work and dedication to women around the world who are at the forefront of advancing women's issues. The next International Women's Day event will be celebrated Monday, March 8th, 2010 and the IWD Organizing Committee is excited to offer many educational and worthwhile workshops to help us with our celebration. The event will be held at the Holiday Inn Harbourview hotel in Dartmouth. Nova Scotian women from Federal Departments, Agencies, Federal Crown Corporations, the Military, the Public Service Alliance of Canada, and their retirees are invited to attend this year's International Women's Day celebration. Dr. Rita Deverell's, the conference keynote, has had a distinguished career which has included work as an academic, broadcaster, television producer/director, journalist, arts administrator and theatre artist. She holds a BA in Philosophy from Adelphi University, MA in History of Religions from Columbia University and EdD in Curriculum from OISE at the University of Toronto, and was the first woman to lead a journalism program in Canada in her position as Director of the School of Journalism at the University of Regina in the 1980's. She recently completed her term as head of news and current affairs at the Aboriginal People's Network and was a founding member of Vision TV, the world's first multi-faith and multi-cultural network. Dr. Deverell was recognized in 2005 with an Order of Canada for her pioneering work in journalism, and has authored several screenplays for which she also served as producer and director. She has held visiting professorships at the University of Western Ontario and New York University. Over 100 women already registered for the IWD event! Please take note of the special considerations: This is a Barrier Free conference. Please identify specific requests with your registration. American Sign Language will be provided for the plenary and for the workshops on request. To accommodate participants with environmental sensitivities, please remember that this is a smoke-free and scent-free environment.
