The 2013 UN Women National Committee Canada Honourees;
"It was my distinct pleasure to recognize the contribution of fellow Canadians to women's empowerment and gender equality. For one person to change our perception of what's normal in this world, of what's possible in this world is a power that can't be underestimated. I am encouraged by these amazing honourees and feel privileged to acknowledge them through our organization's annual recognition ceremony. We have been honouring exceptional Canadians for 13 years and I am always struck by how each one them has unique talents and aspirations, as well as a unique experience to offer their communities". Empowerment is about the strength, resilience and determination of women to unleash the power within, and then inspire others to do the same. The women's empowerment movement is a collective action that begins with the power of one. Each award recipient embodies all of the characteristics of the women's empowerment movement and lives and breathes the power of one principle," said Almas Jiwani, President of United Nations Women National Committee Canada.
Recipients expressed their appreciation for being recognized for this prestigious honour;
The cocktail reception and recognition ceremony featured special performances by Belinda Brady, two-time Juno nominee and Canadian Urban Music Award winning singer.
