International Women's Day & Year 2007

PeaceWomen Across the Globe - Partnership Project

During 2007 Granny arrange for the support of two other organizations to help her search for 100 Canadian PeaceWomen for the 'PeaceWomen Across the Globe - Partnership Project".

The other two organizations are

1. Canadian Voice of Women for Peace

2. Science for Peace.

While Granny and others have gathered information on many Canadian women, Lillian Ross has editing their materials in preparation for a book. This project is still ongoing in 2009 and we hope to have enough materials for the 100 at the end of the summer in time for the International Day of Peace.

As you grow up please work for peace.

Love
Julia

International Women's Day 2006 - Parliament Hill, Ottawa, Ontario

In 2006, for International Women's Day I was invited to give a keynote speech for the Parliamentary Library staff and govenment officials. This was held at the West Building on Parliment Hill, in Ottawa, Ontario.

There were over 200 people in attendance. Dianne Leggatt, retired principal, came with me. Security was very tight.
