Monthly newsletter – March 2023

Hello,

March is an important month for many reasons. It's the time of year when we notice the days getting longer, when parents enjoy a nice week's break with their children. It is also the time of year when we celebrate International Women's Day - External link..

Congratulations to all those women, mothers, daughters, sisters, cousins, friends, daughters-in-law and others who are making the world a better place, one step at a time.

Let's be proud of all they have accomplished, let's celebrate their great victories and their small successes, whether we think of pay equity, the place of women in the highest decision-making spheres or at the head of municipal administrations, ministries or university faculties! Everywhere, they are shining and paving the way for the future.

At Beaucage Bruneau, we have been on the side of women since the company was founded. It is our fervent wish that all heritages be conjugated in the feminine form, and this, forever.

How about celebrating Aboriginal women this year? Radio-Canada presents some of them (in French) - External link..

Happy celebrations and see you soon!
