2011 has continued to bring change for PIRS. Angela Sasso has been appointed as Acting Executive Director while Jennifer Mc Carthy Flynn is away on maternity leave. Yet, we are still strong and steady to enhance PIRS Profile within the community.
2011 Event
The year started with the 100 years celebration of International Women’s Day. The event was held together with Mt. Pleasant Neighbourhood House with participants and volunteers coming from various PIRS programs. It was a great community celebration full of singing, dancing, food.
Our Spring 2011 Newsletter featured the article on International Women’s Day. It reminds us of the huge progress women and girls have made but, also of the continuing challenges in the 21st century.
