Campaspe Shire Mayor Daniel Mackrell is encouraging community members to embrace not only International Women’s Day on March 8, but the shire’s whole two-week program of International Women’s Day celebrations.
“Our community thrives when everyone feels welcome to learn, share and grow,” Cr Mackrell said.
“Over these two weeks of International Women’s Day celebrations, I encourage people of all genders to get together, explore new activities and celebrate the strength, creativity and potential that exists within all of us.”
All events are free to attend; however, bookings are essential and can be made on council’s website.
