Canada Area Update, Submitted by Anne Innes, Canada Area President
What an exciting month to be your Canada Area ACWW president! I have had amazing opportunities to meet many Women’s Institute and ACWW society members to learn the work being done to support women locally. This conversation helps me to share what is happening globally as we focus on our theme Locally Grounded, Leading Globally.
Thank you to WINS, ACWW Society President Margie Taylor, and ACWW Coordinator Eleanor Lilley for the opportunity to attend your AGM in Wolfville, Nova Scotia. Special thanks to FWIC President Lynn for getting me to where I needed to be and showing me the beautiful Annapolis Valley and its fertile farmland. Eleanor is making sure members know what is happening at ACWW, the work on the resolutions, and the difference it is making. In my report, I shared Linda Janes' work on iron deficiency (July issue of FWIC Connections, if you missed it), Kim Coy's work on gender-based violence, and the PowerPoint she has offered to share with other societies. By sharing and working together, it is not only easier, but far more impactful.

Be sure to watch the YouTube video on mental health for Women farmers if you missed it live. https://acww.org.uk/year-of-the-woman-farmer. This discussion brought together ACWW members and farming mental health organizations to explore the critical role women play in agriculture and rural communities, and their experiences surrounding farming, resilience and mental health.
