Our Legacy

OK, I was trying to stay out of politics BUT I NEED to make this comment.

This has been a historic year for women. We had a women as a runner up for the party's ticket. We have a woman on the ticket for another party.

This is INCREDIBLE!!!! 

This was not something that could have happened 25 years ago.
We have been only allowed to vote for 88 years--yes that right.

We got here by working hard and making sacrifices.  We got here because we are qualified, intelligent and hard working. 

We got here on the sweat and backs of hockey grandmothers.

We need to tell this legacy to our daughters. 
We need to be role models for them. 

We need to set an example for them.

We need to to let them know that they don't have to act cute/ not smart/ wink at the camera  to be listened too or taken seriously.

We need to tell our legacy. 

We need to respect the work that has been done.

We need to honor the women who have gone before them.
