Today is March 8th—International Women’s Day.
On this snowy day we take a moment to think about and honour the women in our lives who have contributed so much, who have shaped our past, and who will continue to shape our future.
To one and all—Happy International Women’s Day!
Did you know?
Kenora was once named Rat Portage. The name came from the Anishinabe name of the local portage site, which was Wauzhushk Onigum, which meant, “portage to the country of the muskrat”.
