The luncheon was part of International Women’s Day, first observed on March 19, 1911 in Austria, Denmark, Germany, and Switzerland. That day, more than one million women and men showed their support for women’s equality by taking part in public events. Each year, March 8 and the week following honours the contributions women have been making in Canada and around the world.

International Women's Day ensures that we spend some time thinking about the achievements and sacrifices of the women who have gone before us, that we acknowledge the special women around us, and that we work together to make a brighter future for generations to come," she said.

International Women's Day is celebrated around the world each year. It is a day when women are recognised for their achievements without regard to divisions, whether national, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, economic or political. It is an occasion for looking back on past struggles and accomplishments, and more importantly, for looking ahead to the untapped potential and opportunities that await future generations of women.
