Almas Jiwani, champion of gender equality and global ambassador of peace will be speaking on gender equality with Caldwell First Nation on September 10, 2015 in Leamington, Ontario.

Leading up to the talk, Chief Hillier said, "In the struggle for women to have equity and equality, Almas Jiwani is a beacon that reaches into the darkest recesses of despair to light the path that guides us to equality. Caldwell First Nation is proud to welcome Almas to our Ancestral Land."

Ms. Tamara Stomp, whose firm is sponsoring the event, expressed its importance stating, "It is an honour to host the internationally renowned Almas Jiwani in Windsor-Essex County. Heading into the federal election, and with our economy teetering on the abyss of another official recession, it is timely for us to hear her message for gender equality and the social, economic and political empowerment of women."

"I invite you to join me to listen to this powerful and influential speaker on her journey across the globe, playing a crucial role in building networks among charitable institutions and socially responsible businesses, and seeking social justice. If not for yourself, then for your mother, or sister, friend, or neighbour and for all of our daughters who are inheriting a world that needs change."

Upon being asked to speak, Ms. Jiwani said, "Canada must be a champion for gender equality on its own frontier before it can become the influential humanitarian body the world so desperately needs. I am therefore deeply humbled to be welcomed so generously to the Caldwell Ancestral Lands to not only share the lessons on equality, but learn from stories that must be heard."

The event will be held on September 10, 2015 from 6:30-8:30 pm 14 Orange St. Leamington, ON., N8H 1P5.
