Antigonish, Nova Scotia
For her long-time leadership of the Antigonish Women’s Resource Centre and Sexual Assault Services Association, and for her ongoing activism against sexual violence.
This appointment recognizes the feminist social change work that has taken place in rural, small-town Nova Scotia— the work of many women over many years supported by women working within 'the halls of power,’ within feminist organizations locally, provincially and nationally, and at the community level. The work goes on and we need all of us.
