International Day of the Girl is “a day dedicated to celebrating the voices and power of girls, championing their rights worldwide, and reflecting on the challenges they continue to face because of their gender.” (Source) Since 2021, Skills Ontario celebrates International Day of the Girl to recognize and inspire girls ages 10-13 across the province to build their skills, conquer boundaries, and explore their pathways. Join us every second week of October for the Skills Ontario International Day of the Girl Celebration Event – we’re hosting an in-person event and a virtual celebration!
