Today is International Women’s Day and Huron-Bruce MPP Lisa Thompson has an additional platform from which to support women.
Thompson is now chair of the Commonwealth Woman Parliamentarians – Canada Region, which is composed of women parliamentarians of the provincial and territorial Canadian legislatures and the federal parliament.
Thompson notes this unique experience allows her opportunities to continue to promote the riding at an international level, and the role of women in community economic development initiatives and the agri-food sector.
She added, “I hope to utilize this honour to shine a spotlight on women who paved the path for us.”
