Taking place on April 28th, the event will feature workshops, panels and webinars, along with plenty of networking opportunities. The day will end with an Evening Awards Gala aimed at honouring women in Ontario who have made positive contributions in their community. Jane Goodall will provide the keynote speech. A pioneering animal rights activist, ethologist and environmentalist, Goodall is globally recognised for her work with chimpanzees. In April 2002, she was named a UN Messenger of Peace.
