Why are we virtually getting dressed up?

Every year we invite Central Alberta residents to submit the names of women who go above and beyond within their community. This year we have been faced with extraordinary and unfamiliar challenges - and rather than step back and wait for the storm of uncertainty to pass, we have decided to come together now to celebrate these women now! Put on your best duds, purchase a ticket and join us as we get Virtually All Dressed Up!
