The 100 Mile House & District Women’s Centre Society’s International Women’s Day at the 100 Mile Community Hall on March 8 was “amazing,” says executive director Sonja Ramsay. She notes there was a great turnout, as 80 residents showed up for the event. Ramsay adds local politicians were well represented that day with Cariboo Regional District chair Al Richmond, Area L Director Brian Coakley and Area H Director Margo Wagner attending. District of 100 Mile House Mayor Mitch Campsall and KamloopsThompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod’s local office manager Lynda Krupp also attended. R amsay says Richmond, Campsall and Krupp spoke in support of the work of the Women’s Centre and the end of violence against women. “They all stood in unison for an oath and made a public pledge with the rest of the

local women and their contributions to the community. Noting last year’s People’s Choice was a photograph of Eliza Archie, Ramsay says this year’s People’s Choice was a photograph of Sue Graham, who is struggling with lung cancer, with her head shaved because she is going to be losing all of her hair. “She wanted to make an impact on people to get them to live healthy lives. Look what happened to her – she smoked; she made different choices. “She wanted to be present in a way that would inspire people to live a different way, so it was pretty profound.” Graham’s lifelong friend of 30 years Claudette Collinge took the photo that had an impact on everyone who laid eyes on it, Ramsay adds. “Most importantly for us at the women’s centre, and especially for me, is becoming visible in our community and making sure we’re connecting with women from all walks of life and letting them know we’re here to support them.”
