International Women’s Day 

This year’s International Women’s Day theme, “Give to Gain” reminds us that giving back strengthens our communities, and when we invest in one another, we all grow. This International Women’s Day, we celebrated the many ways women lead, inspire, and support those around them, and recognized the incredible women who work with us and call our communities home.

Several inspiring female leaders from Shannex’s leadership team joined a panel discussion at Home Office, Halifax, N.S., to share insights from their careers and personal journeys. They spoke about inspiring mentors and shared stories that highlighted the achievements and contributions of women in their lives.
