A Toast to Inspiring Local Women It felt like the right time to celebrate local women and do some networking in a relaxed setting. On a snowy Mar. 17 (St. Patrick’s
Day to most people), flow and SaskMade Marketplace hosted a casual meet-and-greet event welcoming past, present honorees featured in the magazine and and other VIPs to mark March 8, International Women’s Day. With one notable exception it was an all-female affair presided over by host and SaskMade’s Candace Ippolito. Chef Jenni made finger foods from locally sourced ingredients just for the occasion (wild rice flour blinys with beetroot relish; devilled eggs; bison meatballs; pickerel chip dip; rose-petal ice cream), while Barb Coté of Black Fox Spirits poured gin cocktails to keep conversations flowing. Attendees included designers,
activists, entrepreneurs, teachers and managers—and a few mothers among them. Making the evening more memorable was a door prize giveaway of a SaskMade Marketplace gift basket valued at $120 (plus dinner for four prepared and delivered by Chef Jenni). The lucky winner was first-year flow alumnus Iryna Matsiuk. Thank you to all event contributors and attendees for making the night as special as it was fun!
