\u201cThis is our fourth year working with Girls Inc. of York Region and we\u2019ve really loved the partnership with them. They really bring so much great energy to the event as well. As this year is all about camp, we have a really amazing \u2018elevated camp\u2019 menu, we have a badge-system that we\u2019re employing through the evening where you can collect some badges, and there\u2019s going to be amazing drinks as well! Then we have our vendor market that are all women-owned businesses. That\u2019s a big part of the evening \u2013 celebrating our local small businesses that are all women-owned. We have a lot of returning booths and we have some new people as well, which is really great.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Returning for 2026 after a few years\u2019 absence is a panel of local women entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Set to take the stage are Shabi Monzavi of Market Candle Company, Lauren Francis-Smithson, founder of Lo+Co, Lynnette Lanning, co-founder of Neighbour Media, and Anne-Marie Million, founder of A Million Mouthfuls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThey have such a presence in our community,\u201d says Hawtin. \u201cI hope people leave feeling empowered, celebrated, and I hope they feel inspired. This is a great opportunity to bring someone in your life who is a female out to the event for a really fun night out. There\u2019s shopping, and who doesn\u2019t love shopping? You\u2019re supporting a great cause, you\u2019re going to have delicious food and drinks, and you\u2019re going to have a quick little inspirational moment in the theatre. It\u2019s short and sweet, but I think it\u2019s impactful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
