On October 5 – 7, more than 100 Unifor sisters and siblings gathered in Calgary for the Prairie Region Women’s Conference, uniting under the theme: Rising Together – Voices of Strength and Solidarity.

The conference began with a conversation about the struggles and power of women with Janis Irwin, MLA for Edmonton-Highlands-Norwood. The conversation, facilitated by Unifor Women’s Director, Tracey Ramsey, focused on the importance of solidarity in a time where women, workers, and gender-diverse people are under attack.
