The Humboldt Regional Newcomer Centre celebrated International Women's Day on Thursday at the Community Gathering Place.

“It's about celebrating women, it’s about equality, it’s about pressing for power and pressing for progress,” Executive Director Janine Hart said.

The group works with immigrant women, and it’s important to let them know they can do anything they want in Canada, such as going to school or getting a job.

Some of their clients provided services for the Women’s Day celebration including cake decorating, hand massages and photography.

The day included special guest speakers to help inspire women and to increase knowledge regarding health around women.

A full crowd to celebrate women.
