A special event will be held to mark the coming retirement of a longtime advocate for women's rights and empowerment in Wawa.
A "retirement come and go" tomorrow will honour outgoing CHADWIC Home Executive Director Paula Valois, who will be retiring after 39 years "of tireless advocacy for women's rights and empowerment...and her unwavering commitment to gender equality and social justice".
Local women's shelter CHADWIC Home supports Wawa, Chapleau, and all other communities and First Nations within North Algoma.
The event runs from 1 pm to 2:30 pm Wednesday afternoon, at Judy Page Moore Catering on Broadway Avenue in Wawa.
