IWD 2020 and Morguard’s Culture of Equality<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\nThe first International Women’s Day took place in 1911, at which point women didn’t even have the right to vote. Blazing the trail forward, outstanding women have overcome obstacles and endured hardship to secure the path for gender equality in the workforce today. From Florynce Kennedy’s work to stop gender segregation in job listings to Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro dedicating her career to closing the gender pay gap, we owe so many women our gratitude. Because of their progress, we now have the opportunity to further balance the scales of gender equality—and equality for all. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\nFor International Women’s Day <\/span><\/span>2020<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span>, we’re reflecting on how Morguard puts people first to support equality for everyone.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

All communities benefit from an environment of equality. That’s why Morguard associates are carefully selected not only for their knowledge and skills but also for their passion for serving our communities and our people. Their fairness and professionalism help Morguard communities thrive and provide our residents with an exceptional living experience. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    Other IWD2020 Morguard Festivities<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    The International Women’s Day celebration at the Morguard head office was hosted by the Social Committee and Corporate Marketing. In addition to a team screening of our recent <\/span><\/span>company video<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span>, in which Morguard associates describe what International Women’s Day means to them personally, Coach and facilitator Lisa Mitchell stopped by to discuss the concept of Collective Individualism and how it can help us embrace and embody equality. Angela Sahi, SVP and Beverley Flynn, SVP, General Counsel, each spoke about the significance of International Women’s Day in their lives, and how they are inspired by their female colleagues each and every day. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    \n\"\"At <\/span><\/span>Intercity Shopping Centre<\/span><\/span><\/span> in Thunder Bay, Ontario, we celebrated International Women’s Day by handing out purple carnations to team members, staff and customers.
