Striving for more women in elected office
The quest for more women to be involved in all levels of politics was the focus of an event in Prince Albert Saturday.
The Canadian Federation of University Women held a Prairies International Women’s Day Event at the Saskatchewan Polytechnic campus.
Locals gathered to watch a live stream presentation from Lethbridge to listen to Political Scientist Lisa Lambert who talked about women in politics and why it matters.
Lambert is also a sessional instructor at the University of Lethbridge with an interest in gender politics, voter behaviour, campaign financing and political parties. She also earned her MA from the University of Lethbridge and in 2015 when the NDP won government in Alberta she helped run the office of Alberta MLA Shannon Phillips.
