Girls Inc. Golf Tournament
 
While it seems at this time of year most people in the region have traded in their golf clubs for snow shovels, the staff at Girls Inc of Northern Alberta are already working hard to prepare for their 21st Annual Golf Tournament. Sponsor our event, and/or put in a team of 4 to play!

The Tournament will be held at Miskanaw Golf Club located at MacDonald Island Park, on Saturday, July 19th, 2014. The event is a fun-filled day on the golf course; complete with a delicious dinner, fabulous prizes, a live auction and of course, a chance to help out a very worthy cause!
Women of Inspiration Series
 
Girls Inc. of Northern Alberta and Syncrude are pleased to acknowledge the amazing women who make the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo a great place to live, work and raise families. 

The Women of Inspiration (WOI) Series presented by Syncrude honours women who have contributed countless efforts to their community and have inspired other women and girls to embody the Girls Inc. mantra of Strong, Smart & Bold.

Over the course of a year we showcase the stories of local women who are driving positive change for other women and girls, either directly or by example. This series will come to a close in May 2014 during Girls Rights Week, and on June 14th, 2014 Girls Inc. will host a Women of Inspiration Celebration at the Sawridge Hotel to celebrate all the nominees.

It is our hope that you will join us in this exciting project and will nominate a woman who has broken boundaries and is a leader within the RMWB.

We are now accepting nominations for next years Series, starting in June.

She was instrumental in helping launch the Festival of Trees 25 years ago, and in making the Girl Guides strong as well by encouraging 300 girls across town to enrol in the program. She first took over as the group’s commissioner, and later as their public relations director.
