Thank you to the 2011 participants, Together we heard inspirational stories of amazing women changing lives; discussed how to stay safe and bully-free online; how to nurture and protect our self esteem; and even some hip hop moves to show off! We would love to see all of you girls again, so please make sure you check out the great youth programs at the Kelowna Family Y or H2O Adventure + Fitness Centre. Lots of ways for girls to grow through at the Y! This event would not have been made possible without the support of the Province of British Columbia & YWCA Canada. We would also like to thank loyal conference supporter Divine Feast Catering for the generous lunch and to the Capital News for their ongoing media support during a YWCA Week Without Violence. And never the least… our incredible volunteer speakers Marion Barschel of CBC Daybreak South, Karen Mason from Disney Club Penguin and Angela O’Brien of Esteem Lingerie and event volunteers from UBC and the YMCA-YWCA. |
