Canada Vendors and Global Impact Empowerment Hub celebrated the International Women's Day event on March 22, 2025, at Brampton City Hall and gave awards to some female trailblazers in Canada. I was privileged to be one of the recipients of the awards given by the Mayor of Brampton, His Worship Patrick Brown, and Councillor Rod Power. MPP David Smith also presented an award to Queen Idia House Art Gallery. I received three awards yesterday including one award last week, a total of 4 awards (certificates) for 7 days. Thanks to Canada Vendors and Global Impact Empowerment Hub for the nomination: "An effort made for the happiness of others lifts us above ourselves.” ~ Lydia Maria Child. I would like to appreciation all the guests, who attended the meeting at Queen Idia House Art Gallery yesterday. It was a breath of fresh air.  

MPP Charmaine Williams and MP Shafqat Ali visited Queen Idia House Art Gallery for a tour on Saturday March 15th, 2025. An award was presented to Queen Idia House Art Gallery by MP Shafqat Ali. It was mesmerizing!
