- **Event Name**: International Women’s Day March for Equity
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 08 Mar, 2026 at 11:00 am – Sun, 08 Mar, 2026 at 02:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Join us March 8 at 11:00 AM at the HOPE Sign in Riverside Park as we gather in community to honour International Women’s Day, and this year’s global Give to Gain theme.

When we give, we gain. This year, we gather with a shared commitment to generosity, reciprocity, and collective care because real change happens when communities give their voices, their presence, their power, and their solidarity. Give to Gain calls us to move beyond words and into meaningful, sustained action that multiplies safety, equity, and opportunity for women across the Thompson–Nicola region.

We will open the day in a good way with a blessing and powerful drumming led by Elders, Knowledge Keepers, and the Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc Cultural Centre. Their leadership will ground us in respect, strength, and shared purpose as we gather in unity.

Following the opening, we will hear from community leaders speaking to women’s equity in the Thompson–Nicola region. Speakers will address the urgent need to gain women’s safety, equity, and access to care. Across our region, women continue to face barriers to essential services, including maternity care, reproductive health supports, and trauma-informed care. Violence against women is not only physical; it is systemic. It shows up in healthcare gaps, lack of culturally safe services, poverty, stigma, housing insecurity, and institutional neglect, placing women’s lives and wellbeing at risk.

We recognize that protecting women’s health and safety is fundamental to protecting women’s human rights, and that when women thrive, communities rise.

After the speakers, Knowledge Keepers and drummers will lead us through the streets of Kamloops in a solidarity march. Together, we will raise our voices for women’s safety, equitable healthcare access, and basic human rights, giving our presence, our power, and our collective strength to create change.

This year, we honour all women. We stand in remembrance of our Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit people (MMIW2S). We call on our governments and institutions to Give to Gain, to act with courage, responsibility, and care in ending gender-based violence and ensuring all women have access to safe, equitable, and culturally appropriate healthcare.

Bring your signs, your drums, your families, and your solidarity.

Let us gather with purpose. Let us remember with love.

Let us Give to Gain together. ?
